OJ Reeves [https://github.com/OJ] added
[https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/10206] two new PowerShell
transport functions to Metasploit payloads and made modifications to the
PowerShell transport binding functionality. The aptly-named Add-TcpTransport
function adds an active TCP transport to the current session and the
Add-WebTransport function adds an HTTP/S transport to the current session. These
functions are fully documented, allowing the user to leverage the Ge

Welcome to another installment of the week! This installment features a new
ETERNALBLUE module in everyone's favorite reptile-brain language, Python!
Sporting support for Windows 8 and 10, it has everything you need, including
immutable strings and enforced whitespace.
In other Windows 10 news, chervalierly [https://github.com/chervaliery] fixed an
annoying bug in rex-powershell that prevented PsExec from working on later
versions of Windows 10. Now, you can PsExec to your heart’s content. Go f

New Privilege Escalation Exploit
The glibc 'realpath()' module
[https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/10101] was added by bcoles
[https://github.com/bcoles]. It attempts to gain root privileges on Debian-based
Linux systems by exploiting a vulnerability in GNU C Library (glibc) version <=
2.26. This exploit uses halfdog's [https://github.com/halfdog] RationalLove
exploit to expose a buffer underflow error in glibc realpath() and create a SUID
root shell. The module includes offset

Upgrade Your SOCKS
Thanks to zeroSteiner [https://github.com/zeroSteiner], we have some very nice
additions to the SOCKS5 library this week. His changes enabled BIND connections
through the SOCKS5 proxy
[https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/9990], improved automated
testing around the code, and broke it up into more manageable, targeted
submodules. Now that Trevor’s dying wish

You Compile Me
Our very own wchen-r7 [https://github.com/wchen-r7] added the ability to compile
C code in metasploit, including (select) dependencies by creating a wrapper for
metasm. Right now, support for windows.h is the first salvo in custom compiling
tools within the metasploit interface!

For a long time, people have asked us to support RHOSTS in exploits just like we

Chaining Vulnerabilities
Philip Pettersson discovered vulnerabilities in certain PAN OS versions
[http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2017/Dec/38] that could lead to remote code
execution and hdm wrote a Metasploit module for the exploit chain
[https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/9980]. The exploit chain
starts off with an authentication bypass, which allows the module to access a
page that is vulnerable to an XML injection. This page is then used to create a
directory where a pay

You may have noticed that our weekly wrapups
[https://www.rapid7.com/blog/tag/metasploit-weekly-wrapup/] tend to be very
light-hearted. A few might say our blog is humourous. Some might even argue that
they incorporate low-brow internet jokes and an excessive quantity of memes.
Well, I'm here to say we've turned over a new leaf. No longer will cheap comedy

This week marked the beginning of our time in the new office. Everything got
packed up and moved: computers, chairs, Rudy’s cups, and odd soy sauce packets

Spring has come again to Austin, TX, home of the Rapid7 Metasploit team. While
the season here brings pollen and allergies, it also brings fields full of
bluebonnets and folks taking pictures before they all disappear. Let's celebrate
by looking at what's popped up in Metasploit this week.
New Data Model
Last week, we landed the beginning of a new backend service for Metasploit,
dubbed 'Goliath', which creates a new abstraction between Metasploit Framework
and how it interacts with the databa
