Module Overview

Name: Apple TV Video Remote Control
Module: auxiliary/admin/appletv/appletv_display_video
Source code: modules/auxiliary/admin/appletv/appletv_display_video.rb
Disclosure date: -
Last modification time: 2017-07-24 06:26:21 +0000
Supported architecture(s): -
Supported platform(s): -
Target service / protocol: http, https
Target network port(s): 80, 443, 3000, 7000, 8000, 8008, 8080, 8443, 8880, 8888
List of CVEs: -

This module plays a video on an AppleTV device. Note that AppleTV can be somewhat picky about the server that hosts the video. Tested servers include default IIS, default Apache, and Ruby's WEBrick. For WEBrick, the default MIME list may need to be updated, depending on what media file is to be played. Python SimpleHTTPServer is not recommended. Also, if you're playing a video, the URL must be an IP address. Some AppleTV devices are actually password-protected; in that case please set the PASSWORD datastore option. For password brute forcing, please see the module auxiliary/scanner/http/appletv_login.
