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/mssql/mssql_ping
msf auxiliary(mssql_ping) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf auxiliary(mssql_ping) > set RHOSTS ip-range
msf auxiliary(mssql_ping) > exploit
Other examples of setting the RHOSTS option:
Example 1:
msf auxiliary(mssql_ping) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.200
Example 2:
msf auxiliary(mssql_ping) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.1/24
Example 3:
msf auxiliary(mssql_ping) > 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
Description
The mssql_ping
module queries a host or range of hosts on UDP port 1434 to determine the listening TCP port of any MSSQL server, if available. MSSQL randomizes the TCP port that it listens on so this is a very valuable module in the Framework.
Verification Steps
- Do:
use auxiliary/scanner/mssql/mssql_ping
- Do:
set RHOSTS [IP]
- Do:
set THREADS [number of threads]
- Do:
run
Scenarios
msf > use auxiliary/scanner/mssql/mssql_ping
msf auxiliary(mssql_ping) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.200-254
RHOSTS => 192.168.1.200-254
msf auxiliary(mssql_ping) > set THREADS 20
THREADS => 20
msf auxiliary(mssql_ping) > run
