Use a Fake image.jpg ‘FakeImageExploiter’ to Exploit Targets

FakeImageExploiter stores all records in apache2 webroot, zips (.zip) the specialist, begins apache2 and metasploit services(handler), and gives a URL to send to target (triggers agent.zip download). When the casualty runs our executable, our photo will be downloaded and opened in the default picture watcher, our malicious payload will be executed, and we will get a meterpreter session.

However, it additionally stores the operator (not ziped) into Fake ImageExploiter/output folder in the event that we wish to convey agent.jpg.exe utilizing another different attack vector.

This device likewise builds a cleaner.rc file to erase payloads left in target

This module takes one existing image.jpg and one payload.ps1 (input by user) and build another payload (agent.jpg.exe) that if executed it will trigger the download of the 2 past files put away into apache2 (image.jpg + payload.ps1) and execute them.

This module additionally changes the agent.exe Icon to coordinate one file.jpg Then uses the satire ‘Shroud extensions for known record types’ strategy to hide the agent.exe expansion.

All payloads (client input) will be downloaded from our apache2 webserver what’s more, executed into target RAM. The main extension (payload contribution by user) that requires to compose payload to plate are .exe doubles.
