Post Module to send beacon signals to the broadcast address while channel hopping

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

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/hardware/zigbee/zstumbler

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/hardware/zigbee/zstumbler
msf post(zstumbler) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf post(zstumbler) > set SESSION session-id
msf post(zstumbler) > 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/hardware/zigbee/zstumbler")
  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

Actively scans the Zigbee channels by sending a beacon broadcast packet and listening for responses.

Options

DEVICE

ZigBee Device ID. Defaults to the target device that is specified via the target command or if one device is presented when running 'supported_devices' it will use that device.

CHANNEL

The channel to scan. Setting this options will prevent the stumbler from changing channels. Range is 11-26, inclusive. Default: not set n LOOP

How many times to loop over the channels. Specifying a -1 will loop forever. Default: 1

DELAY

The delay in seconds to listen to each channel. Default: 2

Scenarios

Scanning channel 11 for other ZigBee devices in the area.

hwbridge > run post/hardware/zigbee/zstumbler channel=11

[*] Scanning Channel 11
[*] New Network: PANID: 0x4724 SOURCE: 0x25D5
[*]         Ext PANID: 6E:03:C7:74:31:E2:74:AA       Stack Profile: ZigBee Enterprise

[*]         Channel: 11
