Metasploit Penetration Testing Cookbook - Third Edition

By: Daniel Teixeira, Abhinav Singh, Nipun Jaswal, Monika Agarwal

Overview of this book

Metasploit is the world's leading penetration testing tool and helps security and IT professionals find, exploit, and validate vulnerabilities. Metasploit allows penetration testing automation, password auditing, web application scanning, social engineering, post exploitation, evidence collection, and reporting. Metasploit's integration with InsightVM (or Nexpose), Nessus, OpenVas, and other vulnerability scanners provides a validation solution that simplifies vulnerability prioritization and remediation reporting. Teams can collaborate in Metasploit and present their findings in consolidated reports. In this book, you will go through great recipes that will allow you to start using Metasploit effectively. With an ever increasing level of complexity, and covering everything from the fundamentals to more advanced features in Metasploit, this book is not just for beginners but also for professionals keen to master this awesome tool. You will begin by building your lab environment, setting up Metasploit, and learning how to perform intelligence gathering, threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, and post exploitation—all inside Metasploit. You will learn how to create and customize payloads to evade anti-virus software and bypass an organization's defenses, exploit server vulnerabilities, attack client systems, compromise mobile phones, automate post exploitation, install backdoors, run keyloggers, highjack webcams, port public exploits to the framework, create your own modules, and much more.

Incognito attacks with Meterpreter


Incognito allows us to impersonate user tokens. It was first integrated into Metasploit first, then to Meterpreter. In this recipe, we will be covering Incognito and use cases.

Note

Tokens are similar to web cookies. They are also similar to temporary keys, which allow us to enter the system and network without having to provide authentication details each time. Incognito exploits this by replaying that temporary key when asked to authenticate.There are two types of tokens: delegate and impersonate. delegate tokens are for interactive logins, whereas impersonate tokens are for noninteractive sessions.

How to do it...

  1. In a Meterpreter session running with system privileges, before using Incognito, we will load the incognito Meterpreter extension, and then have a look at the available options:
meterpreter > load incognito 
Loading extension incognito...Success.
meterpreter > help Incognito
