Splunk Web Interface Login Utility - Metasploit
This page contains detailed information about how to use the auxiliary/scanner/http/splunk_web_login metasploit module. For list of all metasploit modules, visit the Metasploit Module Library.
Module Overview
Name: Splunk Web Interface Login Utility
Module: auxiliary/scanner/http/splunk_web_login
Source code: modules/auxiliary/scanner/http/splunk_web_login.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, 8000, 8008, 8080, 8443, 8880, 8888
List of CVEs: -
This module simply attempts to login to a Splunk web interface. Please note the free version of Splunk actually does not require any authentication, in that case the module will abort trying. Also, some Splunk applications still have the default credential 'admin:changeme' written on the login page. If this default credential is found, the module will also store that information, and then move on to trying more passwords.
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- normal: The exploit is otherwise reliable, but depends on a specific version and can't (or doesn't) reliably autodetect. More information about ranking can be found here.
Basic Usage
This module is a scanner module, and is capable of testing against multiple hosts.
msf > use auxiliary/scanner/http/splunk_web_login
msf auxiliary(splunk_web_login) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf auxiliary(splunk_web_login) > set RHOSTS ip-range
msf auxiliary(splunk_web_login) > exploit
Other examples of setting the RHOSTS option:
Example 1:
msf auxiliary(splunk_web_login) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.200
Example 2:
msf auxiliary(splunk_web_login) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.1/24
Example 3:
msf auxiliary(splunk_web_login) > set RHOSTS file:/tmp/ip_list.txt
Required Options
- RHOSTS: The target host(s), range CIDR identifier, or hosts file with syntax 'file:<path>'

Description:
This module simply attempts to login to a Splunk web interface.
Please note the free version of Splunk actually does not require any
authentication, in that case the module will abort trying. Also,
some Splunk applications still have the default credential

credential is found, the module will also store that information,
and then move on to trying more passwords.
