PackRat is a post-exploitation module that gathers file and information artifacts from end users' systems. PackRat searches for and downloads files of interest (such as config files, and received and deleted emails) and extracts information (such as contacts and usernames and passwords), using regexp, JSON, XML, and SQLite queries. Further details can be found in the module documentation. This is a module that searches for Maxthon credentials on a windows remote host.
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.
Stability:
- crash-safe: Module should not crash the service.
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/windows/gather/credentials/maxthon
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/windows/gather/credentials/maxthon
msf post(maxthon) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf post(maxthon) > set SESSION session-id
msf post(maxthon) > 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/windows/gather/credentials/maxthon")
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
Module Description
This post-exploitation module gathers artifacts found on maxthon related folders from end users systems.
The list of available artifcts are listed within the module and can be added at anytime. Each artifacts are categorised so that users can specify a category to look for.
Verification Steps
- Start MSF console
- Get a Meterpreter session on a Windows system
- use post/windows/gather/credentials/maxthon
- Set SESSION 1
- enter 'run' to extract credentials from all applications
Options
REGEX
Users can set their own regular expressions so that it could be applied for the credential extraction. The default is set to ^password.
VERBOSE
By default verbose is turned off. When turned on, the module will show information on files which aren't extracted and information that is not directly related to the artifact output.
STORE_LOOT
This option is turned on by default and saves the stolen artifcats/files on the local machine, this is required for also extracting credentials from files using regexp, JSON, XML, and SQLite queries.
EXTRACT_DATA
This option is turned on by defalt and will perform the data extraction using the predefined regular expression. The 'Store loot' options must be turned on in order for this to take work.
