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/ipmi/ipmi_version
msf auxiliary(ipmi_version) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf auxiliary(ipmi_version) > set RHOSTS ip-range
msf auxiliary(ipmi_version) > exploit
Other examples of setting the RHOSTS option:
Example 1:
msf auxiliary(ipmi_version) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.200
Example 2:
msf auxiliary(ipmi_version) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.1/24
Example 3:
msf auxiliary(ipmi_version) > set RHOSTS file:/tmp/ip_list.txt
Required Options
- RHOSTS: The target host(s), range CIDR identifier, or hosts file with syntax 'file:<path>'
Knowledge Base
The ipmi_version module is used to identify the version of the IPMI specification implemented by devices on a network.
Target Devices
Any exposed device that implements the IPMI specification should work with this module. This is a recon module rather than an exploitation module.
Verification Steps
Set RHOSTS to the target device or range and run:
msf > use auxiliary/scanner/ipmi/ipmi_version
msf auxiliary(ipmi_version) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.2
RHOSTS => 192.168.1.2
msf auxiliary(ipmi_version) > run
[*] Sending IPMI requests to 192.168.1.2->192.168.1.2 (1 hosts)
[*] 192.168.1.2:623 - IPMI - Probe sent
[+] 192.168.1.2:623 - IPMI - IPMI-2.0 OEMID:180010 UserAuth(auth_msg, auth_user, non_null_user) PassAuth(password, md5, md2) Level(1.5, 2.0)
