This script implements remote process execution similar to the Sysinternals' psexec tool,
allowing a user to run a series of programs on a remote machine and read the output. This
is great for gathering information about servers, running the same tool on a range of
system, or even installing a backdoor on a collection of computers.
This script can run commands present on the remote machine, such as ping or tracert,
or it can upload a program and run it, such as pwdump6 or a backdoor. Additionally, it
can read the program's stdout/stderr and return it to the user (works well with ping,
pwdump6, etc), or it can read a file that the process generated (fgdump, for example,
generates a file), or it can just start the process and let it run headless (a backdoor
might run like this).
To use this, a configuration file should be created and edited. Several configuration
files are included that you can customize, or you can write your own. This config file
is placed in nselib/data/psexec (if you aren't sure where that is, search your system
for 'default.lua'), then is passed to Nmap as a script argument (for example,
myconfig.lua would be passed as --script-args=config-myconfig
.
The configuration file consists mainly of a module list. Each module is defined by a lua
table, and contains fields for the name of the program, the executable and arguments
for the program, and a score of other options. Modules also have an 'upload' field, which
determines whether or not the module is to be uploaded. Here is a simple example of how
to run 'net localgroup administrators', which returns a list of users in the 'administrators'
group (take a look at the 'examples.lua' configuration file for these examples):
mod = {}
mod.upload = false
mod.name = "Example 1: Membership of 'administrators'"
mod.program = "net.exe"
mod.args = "localgroup administrators"
table.insert(modules, mod)
mod.upload
is false
, meaning the program should already be
present on the remote system (since 'net.exe' is on every version of Windows, this should
be the case). mod.name
defines the name that the program will have in the
output. mod.program
and mod.args
obviously define which program
is going to be run. The output for this script is this:
| Example 1: Membership of 'administrators'
| | Alias name administrators
| | Comment Administrators have complete and unrestricted access to the computer/domain
| |
| | Members
| |
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | Administrator
| | ron
| | test
| | The command completed successfully.
| |
| |_
That works, but it's really ugly. In general, we can use mod.find
,
mod.replace
, mod.remove
, and mod.noblank
to clean up
the output. For this example, we're going to use mod.remove
to remove a lot
of the useless lines, and mod.noblank
to get rid of the blank lines that we
don't want:
mod = {}
mod.upload = false
mod.name = "Example 2: Membership of 'administrators', cleaned"
mod.program = "net.exe"
mod.args = "localgroup administrators"
mod.remove = {"The command completed", "%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-", "Members", "Alias name", "Comment"}
mod.noblank = true
table.insert(modules, mod)
We can see that the output is now much cleaner:
| Example 2: Membership of 'administrators', cleaned
| | Administrator
| | ron
| |_test
For our next command, we're going to run Windows' ipconfig.exe, which outputs a significant
amount of unnecessary information, and what we do want isn't formatted very nicely. All we
want is the IP address and MAC address, and we get it using mod.find
and
mod.replace
:
mod = {}
mod.upload = false
mod.name = "Example 3: IP Address and MAC Address"
mod.program = "ipconfig.exe"
mod.args = "/all"
mod.maxtime = 1
mod.find = {"IP Address", "Physical Address", "Ethernet adapter"}
mod.replace = {{"%. ", ""}, {"-", ":"}, {"Physical Address", "MAC Address"}}
table.insert(modules, mod)
This module searches for lines that contain "IP Address", "Physical Address", or "Ethernet adapter".
In thiese lines, a ". " is replaced with nothing, a "-" is replaced with a colon, and the term
"Physical Address" is replaced with "MAC Address" (arguably unnecessary). Run ipconfig /all yourself
to see what we start with, but here's the final output:
| Example 3: IP Address and MAC Address
| | Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
| | MAC Address: 00:0C:29:12:E6:DB
| |_ IP Address: 192.168.1.21| Example 3: IP Address and MAC Address
Another interesting part of this script is that variables can be used in any script fields. There
are two types of variables: built-in and user-supplied. Built-in variables can be anything found
in the config
table, most of which are listed below. The more interesting ones are:
* $lhost: The address of the scanner
* $rhost: The address being scanned
* $path: The path where the scripts are uploaded
* $share: The share where the script was uploaded
User-supplied arguments are given on the commandline, and can be controlled by mod.req_args
in the configuration file. Arguments are given by the user in --script-args; for example, to set $host
to '1.2.3.4', the user would pass in --script-args=host=1.2.3.4. To ensure the user passes in the host
variable, mod.req_args
would be set to {'host'}
.
Here is a module that pings the local ip address:
mod = {}
mod.upload = false
mod.name = "Example 4: Can the host ping our address?"
mod.program = "ping.exe"
mod.args = "$lhost"
mod.remove = {"statistics", "Packet", "Approximate", "Minimum"}
mod.noblank = true
mod.env = "SystemRoot=c:\\WINDOWS"
table.insert(modules, mod)
And the output:
| Example 4: Can the host ping our address?
| | Pinging 192.168.1.100 with 32 bytes of data:
| | Reply from 192.168.1.100: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
| | Reply from 192.168.1.100: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
| | Reply from 192.168.1.100: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
| |_Reply from 192.168.1.100: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
And this module pings an arbitrary address that the user is expected to give:
mod = {}
mod.upload = false
mod.name = "Example 5: Can the host ping $host?"
mod.program = "ping.exe"
mod.args = "$host"
mod.remove = {"statistics", "Packet", "Approximate", "Minimum"}
mod.noblank = true
mod.env = "SystemRoot=c:\\WINDOWS"
mod.req_args = {'host'}
table.insert(modules, mod)
And the output (note that we had to up the timeout so this would complete; we'll talk about override
values later):
$ ./nmap -n -d -p445 --script=smb-psexec --script-args=smbuser=test,smbpass=test,config=examples,host=1.2.3.4 192.168.1.21
[...]
| Example 5: Can the host ping 1.2.3.4?
| | Pinging 1.2.3.4 with 32 bytes of data:
| | Request timed out.
| | Request timed out.
| | Request timed out.
| |_Request timed out.
For the final example, we'll use the 'upload' command to upload fgdump.exe, run it,
download its output file, and clean up its logfile. You'll have to put fgdump.exe
in the same folder as the script for this to work:
mod = {}
mod.upload = true
mod.name = "Example 6: FgDump"
mod.program = "fgdump.exe"
mod.args = "-c -l fgdump.log"
mod.url = "http://www.foofus.net/fizzgig/fgdump/"
mod.tempfiles = {"fgdump.log"}
mod.outfile = "127.0.0.1.pwdump"
table.insert(modules, mod)
The -l argument for fgdump supplies the name of the logfile. That file is listed in the
mod.tempfiles
field. What, exactly, does mod.tempfiles
do?
It simply gives the service a list of files to delete while cleaning up. The cleanup
process will be discussed later.
mod.url
is displayed to the user if mod.program
isn't found in
nselib/data/psexec/. And finally, mod.outfile
is the file that is downloaded
from the system. This is required because fgdump writes to an output file instead of to
stdout (pwdump6, for example, doesn't require mod.outfile
.
Now that we've seen a few possible combinations of fields, I present a complete list of all
fields available and what each of them do. Many of them will be familiar, but there are a
few that aren't discussed in the examples:
* upload (boolean) true if it's a local file to upload, false if it's already on the host machine. If upload
is true, program
has to be in nselib/data/psexec.
* name (string) The name to display above the output. If this isn't given, program
.. args
are used.
* program (string) If upload
is false, the name (fully qualified or relative) of the program on the remote system; if upload
is true, the name of the local file that will be uploaded (stored in nselib/data/psexec).
* args (string) Arguments to pass to the process.
* env (string) Environmental variables to pass to the process, as name=value pairs, delimited, per Microosft's spec, by NULL characters (string.char(0)).
* maxtime (integer) The approximate amount of time to wait for this process to complete. The total timeout for the script before it gives up waiting for a response is the total of all 'maxtime' fields.
* extrafiles (string[]) Extra file(s) to upload before running the program. These will *not* be renamed (because, presumably, if they are then the program won't be able to find them), but they will be marked as hidden/system/etc. This may cause a race condition if multiple people are doing this at once, but there isn't much we can do. The files are also deleted afterwards as tempfiles would be. The files have to be in the same directory as programs (nselib/data/psexec), but the program doesn't necessarily need to be an uploaded one.
* tempfiles (string[]) A list of temporary files that the process is known to create (if the process does create files, using this field is recommended because it helps avoid making a mess on the remote system)
* find (string[]) Only display lines that contain the given string(s) (for example, if you're searching for a line that contains 'IP Address', set this to {'IP Address'}. This allows Lua-style patterns, see: (don't forget to escape special characters with a '%'). Note that this is client-side only; the full output is still returned, the rest is removed while displaying. The line of output only needs to match one of the strings given here.
* remove (string[]) Opposite of find; this removes lines containing the given string(s) instead of displaying them. Like find, this is client-side only and uses Lua-style patterns. If 'remove' and 'find' are in conflict, the 'remove' takes priority.
* noblank (boolean) Setting this to true removes all blank lines from the output.
* replace (table) A table of values to replace in the strings returned. Like find and replace, this is client-side only and uses Lua-style patterns.
* headless (boolean) If 'headless' is set to true, the program doesn't return any output; rather, it runs detached from the service so that, when the service ends, the program keeps going. This can be useful for, say, a monitoring program. Or a backdoor, if that's what you're into (a Metasploit payload should work nicely). Not compatible with: find, remove, noblank, replace, maxtime, outfile.
* enabled (boolean) Set to false, and optionally set disabled_message
, if you don't want a module to run. Alternatively, you can comment out the process.
* disabled_message (string) Displayed if the module is disabled.
* url (string) A module where the user can download the uploadable file. Displayed if the uploadable file is missing.
* outfile (string) If set, the specified file will be returned instead of stdout.
* req_args (string[]) An array of arguments that the user must set in --script-args.
Any field in the configuration file can contain variables, as discussed. Here are some of the available built-in variables:
* $lhost: local ip address as a string.
* $lport: local port (meaningless; it'll change by the time the module is uploaded since multiple connections are made).
* $rhost: remote ip address as a string.
* $rport: remote port.
* $lmac: local mac address as a string in the xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx format (note: requires root).
* $path: the path where the file will be uploaded to.
* $service_name: the name of the service that will be running this program
* $service_file: the name of the executable file for the service
* $temp_output_file: The (ciphered) file where the programs' output will be written before being renamed to $output_file
* $output_file: The final name of the (ciphered) output file. When this file appears, the script downloads it and stops the service
* $timeout: The total amount of time the script is going to run before it gives up and stops the process
* $share: The share that everything was uploaded to
* (script-args): Any value passed as a script-arg will be replaced (for example, if Nmap is run with --script-args=var3=10
, then '$var3' in any field will be replaced with '10'. See the req_args
field above. script-args values take priority over config values.
In addition to modules, the configuration file can also contain overrides. Most of these
aren't useful, so I'm not going to go into great detail. Search smb-psexec.nse
for any reference to the config
table; any value in the config
table can be overridden with the overrides
table in the module. The most useful
value to override is probably timeout
.
Before and after scripts are run, and when there's an error, a cleanup is performed. in the
cleanup, we attempt to stop the remote processes, delete all programs, output files, temporary
files, extra files, etc. A lot of effort was put into proper cleanup, since making a mess on
remote systems is a bad idea.
Now that I've talked at length about how to use this script, I'd like to spend some time
talking about how it works.
Running a script happens in several stages:
1) An open fileshare is found that we can write to. Finding an open fileshare basically
consists of enumerating all shares and seeing which one(s) we have access to.
2) A 'service wrapper', and all of the uploadable/extra files, are uploaded. Before
they're uploaded, the name of each file is obfuscated. The obfuscation completely
renames the file, is unique for each source system, and doesn't change between multiple
runs. This obfuscation has the benefit of preventing filenames from overlapping if
multiple people are running this against the same computer, and also makes it more difficult
to determine their purposes. The reason for keeping them consistent for every run is to
make cleanup possible: a random filename, if the script somehow fails, will be left on
the system.
3) A new service is created and started. The new service has a random name for the same
reason the files do, and points at the 'service wrapper' program that was uploaded.
4) The service runs the processes.
One by one, the processes are run and their output is captured. The output is obfuscated
using a simple (and highly insecure) xor algorithm, which is designed to prevent casual
sniffing (but won't deter intelligent attackers). This data is put into a temporary output
file. When all the programs have finished, the file is renamed to the final output file
5) The output file is downloaded, and the cleanup is performced. The file being renamed
triggers the final stage of the program, where the data is downloaded and all relevant
files are deleted.
6) Output file, now decrypted, is formatted and displayed to the user.
And that's how it works!
Please post any questions, or suggestions for better modules, to nmap-dev@insecure.org.
And, as usual, since this tool can be dangerous and can easily be viewed as a malicious
tool -- use this responsibly, and don't break any laws with it.
Some ideas for later versions:
-- TODO:
* Set up a better environment for scripts (PATH, SystemRoot, etc). Without this, a lot of programs (especially ones that deal with network traffic) behave oddly.
* Abstract the code required to run remote processes so other scripts can use it more easily (difficult, but will ultimately be well worth it) (later) (may actually not be possible -- there is a lot of overhead and specialized code in this module. We'll see, though.)
* Let user specify an output file (per-script) so they can, for example, download binary files (don't think it's worthwhile)
* Consider running the external programs in parallel (not sure if the benefits outweigh the drawbacks)
* Let the config request the return code from the process instead of the output (not sure if doing this would be worth the effort)
* Check multiple shares in a single session to save packets (and see where else we can tighten up the amount of traffic)
