The script will attempt every method available to it, stopping when it succeeds. We will let Metasploit try to do the heavy lifting for us by running getsystem without any options.

(Default to '0').ġ : Service - Named Pipe Impersonation (In Memory/Admin)Ģ : Service - Named Pipe Impersonation (Dropper/Admin)ģ : Service - Token Duplication (In Memory/Admin) meterpreter > getsystem -hĪttempt to elevate your privilege to that of local system. Running getsystem with the -h switch will display the options available to us. To make use of the getsystem command, if its not already loaded we will need to first load the ‘priv’ extension. Msf exploit( ms10_002_aurora) > sessions -i 3 Sending Internet Explorer "Aurora" Memory Corruption to client 192.168.1.161 Using the infamous ‘Aurora’ exploit, we see that our Meterpreter session is only running as a regular user account. There are also various other (local) exploits that can be used to also escalate privileges. Fortunately, Metasploit has a Meterpreter script, getsystem, that will use a number of different techniques to attempt to gain SYSTEM level privileges on the remote system. This can severely limit actions you can perform on the remote system such as dumping passwords, manipulating the registry, installing backdoors, etc. Security Operations for Beginners (SOC-100)įrequently, especially with client side exploits, you will find that your session only has limited user rights.Exploit Development Prerequisites (EXP-100).You can follow me on Twitter 0xmaCyberSec. Note that not all exploits identified will allow us to escalate our privileges. exploit runs the module and now we have system level privileges to the box. Instead of using the interface name like tun0 or eth0, we can also use the IP address of an interface. In this case we are listening on the tun0 interface. And the set LHOST tun0 sets the interface on which we will be listening for the remote connection. The set LPORT 8888 command sets the port on our local computer on which we will be listening for the reverse connection. So let's set the SESSION number to 1 by running set SESSION 1. It requires only one option and that is the SESSION number. The show options command shows the options needed for this module. Let's use the "ms16_014_wmi_recv_notif" module. Following are the two exploits: ms10_092_schelevator and ms16_014_wmi_recv_notif. It managed to find two exploits that can potentially allow us to escalate our privileges. Since my session number is 1, I will run the set SESSION 1 command. All that is needed is the SESSION number. All I have to do is run this module and it will identify exploits that will allow me to escalate my privileges. Once we have user level access to our target, we can run this module, and it will identify exploits that will allow us to escalate our privileges.įor this example, I already have user level access to the target box.

This module allows us to escalate our privileges.
