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/ssh/karaf_login
msf auxiliary(karaf_login) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf auxiliary(karaf_login) > set RHOSTS ip-range
msf auxiliary(karaf_login) > exploit
Other examples of setting the RHOSTS option:
Example 1:
msf auxiliary(karaf_login) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.200
Example 2:
msf auxiliary(karaf_login) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.1/24
Example 3:
msf auxiliary(karaf_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>'

Advanced Options

Module advanced options (auxiliary/scanner/ssh/karaf_login):
Name Current Setting Required Description
---- --------------- -------- -----------
MaxGuessesPerService 0 no Maximum number of credentials to try per service instance. If set to zero or a non-number, this option will not be used.
MaxGuessesPerUser 0 no Maximum guesses for a particular username for the service instance. Note that users are considered unique among different services, so a user at 10.1.1.1:22 is differe
nt from one at 10.2.2.2:22, and both will be tried up to the MaxGuessesPerUser limit. If set to zero or a non-number, this option will not be used.
MaxMinutesPerService 0 no Maximum time in minutes to bruteforce the service instance. If set to zero or a non-number, this option will not be used.
Proxies no A proxy chain of format type:host:port[,type:host:port][...]
REMOVE_PASS_FILE false yes Automatically delete the PASS_FILE on module completion
REMOVE_USERPASS_FILE false yes Automatically delete the USERPASS_FILE on module completion

SSH_IDENT SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.6p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.3 yes SSH client identification string
SSH_TIMEOUT 30 no Specify the maximum time to negotiate a SSH session
STOP_ON_SUCCESS true no
ShowProgress true yes Display progress messages during a scan
ShowProgressPercent 10 yes The interval in percent that progress should be shown
