Intro

From the bootparamd(8) man page:

bootparamd is a server process that provides information to diskless clients necessary for booting. It consults the /etc/bootparams file to find the information it needs.

The module documented within will allow a tester to disclose the NIS domain name from a server running bootparamd. After knowing the domain name, the tester can follow up with auxiliary/gather/nis_ypserv_map to dump a map from a compatible NIS server (running as ypserv).

Setup

Set up NIS as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNISHowTo. If the link is down, you can find it via the Wayback Machine.

After that is done, install bootparamd however your OS provides it.

Make sure you add a client to the bootparams file, which is usually at /etc/bootparams.

Here is an example bootparams file (courtesy of @bcoles):

clientname root=nfsserver:/export/clientname/root

You can read the bootparams(5) man page for more info.

Lastly, the client should be added to /etc/hosts if it isn't already resolvable.

Options

PROTOCOL

Set this to either TCP or UDP. UDP is the default due to bootparamd.

CLIENT

Set this to the address of a client in the target's bootparams file. Usually this is a host within the same network range as the target.

XDRTimeout

Set this to the timeout in seconds for XDR decoding of the response.

Usage

msf > use auxiliary/gather/nis_bootparamd_domain
msf auxiliary(gather/nis_bootparamd_domain) > set rhost 192.168.33.10
rhost => 192.168.33.10
msf auxiliary(gather/nis_bootparamd_domain) > set client 192.168.33.10
client => 192.168.33.10
msf auxiliary(gather/nis_bootparamd_domain) > run

After disclosing the domain name, you can use auxiliary/gather/nis_ypserv_map to dump a map from a compatible NIS server.

msf auxiliary(gather/nis_bootparamd_domain) > use auxiliary/gather/nis_ypserv_map
msf auxiliary(gather/nis_ypserv_map) > set rhost 192.168.33.10
rhost => 192.168.33.10
msf auxiliary(gather/nis_ypserv_map) > set domain gesellschaft
domain => gesellschaft
msf auxiliary(gather/nis_ypserv_map) > run
