As a further test I did a download of metasploit framework for windows on a windows machine. Sophos Firewall did not detect any threat. Further I did not install metasploit but did the right click scan with Sophos EP.
At least on Windows, when running the Metasploit installer, it attempts to drop Eicar.com under "C:\metasploit\apps\pro\data\eicar\" as a way to check you have excluded the directory from real-time scanning. So that should be detected as a minimum unless you have excluded the install directory?
If I install the version found here:
Downloads by Version Metasploit Documentation Penetration Testing Software, Pen Testing Security
with only a real-time exclusion, if i scan the directory I get plenty of detections....
In terms of scanning, the Sophos Protection Linux agent currently only has on-demand scanning. The Runtime detection plugin works based off of the MITRE attack matrix in terms of reporting detections in Sophos Central.
App Control to block specific apps is primarily data rules provided by Labs. They are hopefully generic enough to detect v1, v2, v3, the installer and the apps but occasionally they require updates. The form I linked to is the best bet to get the latest version updated in the rules.
But it so silent around it, it looks someone at Sophos Mgmt even forgot that they have this product. The Sales guys of course count one XDR license for something that does provides 0 protection currently.
I use the Security tube metasploit framework expert package.in the 4th video of package with "Framework Organization" title, i see the metasploit exploits folder on backtrack but i'm using Kali Linux, in the Kali i couldn't find the default exploit folder!

The best and easiest way to test your new install is to launch it. Launching is very simple. It is just a case of running the msfconsole from the command line in the metasploit-framework directoy. This is done by:
Congratulations, you now have the latest version of metasploit running on your system. The last thing to do is to configure the system for updates. To do this we need to set up some of the GIT variables.
I have question and I am not sure if I am posting this in the right place. I am also new to Palo Alto firewalls. I have a lot of experience with Cisco and SonicWall so you'll have to excuse me if I sound a little ignorant concerning Palo Alto at the moment.
This is my question/problem. I have a single subnet on my network that seems to be having problems downloading updates from metasploit. Browsing to the metasploit website and downloading the update will give an error stating "Installation failed: Signature failure". The research we've done and the feedback we've been given by Rapid7 is explaining this error is due to a firewall configuration. The other problem is when we attempt to download the file, I believe from and direct link, it's insanely slow. It's about 120 Mb file and it says the download will take about 14 days.
A couple of things to know. This is the only problem download this user and subnet is experiencing, that we are aware of. I am on a different subnet and my direct download is fine, it takes just a couple of minutes to download. The firewall has a rule to allow all from untrust to trust. We are using a PA500. At this point I am not sure what more I can do to verify and confirm that the firewall is not the problem. What steps can I take to continue to troubleshooting this to figure out the firewall is really the culprit or not? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Hi..Please check link speed & duplex for mismatch on the Ethernet interface of the PA device. Also, check to see if there's a QoS policy that may be controlling this traffic. If the user is on the trust zone and the download server is on the untrust zone, the policy should be to allow trust --> untrust for the download request. Thanks.
rmonvon, thank you for the quick reply. I've checked the speed & duplex settings on the PA interface and compared it to the interface it's connected to and they match at 1 Gig Full. This is the only site/download we are having issues with so I don't believe that a mismatch speed/duplex setting is the problem. I also checked QoS policies. There are just a few for some websites but not the one we are browsing to and the policy is for any source IP > any destination IP. With this setting I should have the same problem too since I'm on a different subnet but I don't. It looks like we have URL licensing but I can't seem to get the URL filtering to pull any data. Is it possible this could be an issue? Would there be anything else that could be causing the problem?
Can you try logging into that PC as yourself and test the download, and try the download from a different browser. Maybe there's something wrong with the user's desktop/browser like caching on that browser setting.
I have to make a correction to my original statement, it does seem to be having the same problem on the subnet I am on. The issue must be with either the firewall or the ISP. I'd like to rule out the firewall before I call and blame the ISP.
rmonvon, to answer your question, I have tried from several different browsers. Many of them fail immediately when starting the download. Safari was successful as far as continuing the download but what should be a few minute download is expected to take 2 days at this point (and it will get longer). Thanks again.
You can define an app-override rule to match on the traffic and add a security rule to allow this new app. The app override will bypass the inspection done by the f/w with the exception for stateful inspection.
Thank you for the help and information. I also apologize for the delayed response. We were able to find out that the download was actually stopping which is why the download time kept increasing. After some digging and looking into the threat logs we realized that the attempted download was being blocked due to a virus threat. We had to create a few exceptions to allow the download to continue. I believe the PA incorrectly identified information in the signature or the packets as potentially dangerous and flagged it as such. After making the exceptions the download was successful. Thanks again.
The easiest way to find an environment to test on, is to get Hack The Box VIP and attack the Blue machine which is already vulnerable to this exploit.To setup up your local vm, try Metasploitable 3 Metasploitable3I will go with the Metasploitable for now. For the EternalBlue to work I had to disable the firewall on metasploitable3.Metasploitable IP: 10.0.2.15
Running the exploit code will execute and create C:\pwned.txt on the machine.We can log in and check the file. It should be there. That is ok but vagrant is an admin user. If we have credentials then we probably do not need this exploit at all.
Adding these credentials to our exploit and running it, will once again create the file pwned.txt This means that we have non-admin credentials but we could still execute commands as admin.We can see on the included picture below that the user test cannot delete the file.
This way when the file gets downloaded with powershell, we will immediately call the Invoke-PowerShellTCP function with our ip address and port to connect back to. I also renamed the file to test.ps1Next we need to download the file with our exploit. For this we only need one line in our function.
Here we spawn cmd and from there we will call powershell to download and execute the ps1 script that is hosted in our machine. Notice that by adding the extra line to the script, we just need to download the file to get a revers shell.Finaly we need to host the script somehow. For this go into the folder where the test.ps1 is located and create a http server. For example with:
We will need 3 command window for this to work. one to host our PowerShell Payload, one for the Reverse Shell listener and one which will execute the exploit itself.We can observe it worked. The exploit pulled the file from our server and we got the reverse TCP powershell back.
We looked at various ways to exploit eternal blue with a valid pipename. But what if whe have no pipe name. We need a way to still exploit it. We have one but it is more likely to crash the target.To make this work, first we need to clone the full repo of MS17-010 from worawit.
We will focus on the shellcode first. Going into the folder shellcode and reading the file eternalblue_sc_merge.py we can get an idea how to create our shellcode and use it with this exploit.First we need to assemble the shell code
We will create our exploit in raw format and add an exit function to try to make a clean exit and minimise the chances of a crash.Now we need to combine our payloads with the created shellcode then merge them.
We now have our exploit binary. All we have to do is to execute the exploit and wait for our shell.Going back one folder and executing the exploit, we are getting and error and a successful reverse shell.
It probably would be fine to use just the x86 version and not merge the two exploits. But in case we only want to use one exploit then we should scan carefully for the windows version and architecture.
In this long blog post, We looked at multiple ways to use the exploit EternalBlue with and without pipename. We created reverse shells and injected our own administrator user. I hope this blog post clears the confusion among the people trying to Eternal Blue without Metasploit. This is part 1 of this series and more blog posts are on their way. Cheers!
The metasploit tag seems rather messy. I can see how there can be programming questions related to it (like errors in actual custom exploit code). However, a lot of questions tagged with it seem to be about using it, like about why something isn't working when doing something with the software.
