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/wsdd/wsdd_query
msf auxiliary(wsdd_query) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf auxiliary(wsdd_query) > set RHOSTS ip-range
msf auxiliary(wsdd_query) > exploit

Other examples of setting the RHOSTS option:

Example 1:

msf auxiliary(wsdd_query) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.200

Example 2:

msf auxiliary(wsdd_query) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.1/24

Example 3:

msf auxiliary(wsdd_query) > set RHOSTS file:/tmp/ip_list.txt

Knowledge Base

Vulnerable Application

Web Services Dynamic Discovery (WS-Discovery) is a multicast discovery protocol utilising SOAP over UDP to locate web services on a local network.

Web service enabled devices typically include printers, scanners and file shares.

The reply from some devices may include optional vendor extensions. This data may include network information such as the device MAC address and hostname, or hardware information such as the serial number, make, and model.

Verification Steps

  1. Start msfconsole
  2. Do: use auxiliary/scanner/wsdd/wsdd_query
  3. Do: set RHOSTS [IP] (Default: 239.255.255.250)
  4. Do: run

Scenarios

  msf > use auxiliary/scanner/wsdd/wsdd_query 
  msf auxiliary(wsdd_query) > set rhosts 239.255.255.250
  rhosts => 239.255.255.250
  msf auxiliary(wsdd_query) > run
