A framework to exploit DNS rebinding vulnerabilities.

In alpha-stage, see overview of TODO-list below:

• Finish demo
• Finish script for testing modules without going through DNS rebinding process
• Finish HTML- and JS-code.

A live demo of intrasploit can be found at intrasploit.com

Browsers implement DNS pinning, so DNS rebinding doesn't work instantly. An experiment was performed to get an understanding of how quickly it can be performed. The test below was done 18. August 2018 with the newest available version at the time. All the numbers have been rounded to the closest 5.

NB! When testing with the demo, the times will be a little higher, there are a couple of reasons for this:

• The time is measured from start of rebinding and until first request is sent to target service. Additional service detection takes some time.
• In the demo, the client must poll the server to find out if rebinding has finished. This may add an additional 10 seconds.

NB! Most tests were performed once, as I got results similar to what I had seen during development. The exception was Firefox for Windows, which I tested about 10 times. I got similar, but slightly different results every time. Most of my testing during development was on Firefox for Linux where I also saw similarly low times, but this only happened occasionally.

NB! The table only represent setups I have tested, it does not represent which setups are vulnerable.

The program run as 7 different services, two of them require root privileges. Mixing between root and non-root will cause problems with logging and ownership of log files, therefore we must either run all as non-root or all as root.

This is the setup I use, so this is the setup that is best tested.

Install autbind, on Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt-get install authbind

Run the build script with your root domain and your public IP address. This script will create the necessary files in the build/ directory.

$ bash build.sh <root domain> <public IP address>

After having generated the basic config-file, you might want to make some changes to the config-file. The generated config-file is lcoated at build/intrasploit.ini.

Install script performs the following:

1. Allow the current user to bind ports 1 - 1023 (authbind)
2. Copy iptables binary to $HOME/bin and allow current user to use it
3. Creates directory /var/run/intrasploit so that user is allowed to create Unix domain sockets there
4. Copy config to $HOME/.config/intrasploit.ini
5. Copy service files to /etc/systemd/system/

The install-script must be run as the user who should be the owner of the processes. The script will use sudo when necessary.

$ bash install.sh
$ sudo sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Start all services

$ sudo bash control.sh start

Stop all services:

$ sudo bash control.sh stop

To restart individual services (usually after a change):

$ sudo bash control.sh restart <isfconfig | isfwebserver | isfservice_detection | isfrshell | isfimport_modules | isfdns | isfdatabase>

Not been tested, but you need to take the following steps before following the procedure above:

1. In install.sh remove commands that copy iptables and loop that create files for authbind
2. Remove reference to authbind in build.sh
3. Change to root user before running install.sh (sudo -s)

A Dockerfile has been created, it has however not been tested that well. The Dockerfile will use the configuration file in build-directory, you must therefore call build.sh before building Dockerfile.

$ sudo docker build -t intrasploit .
$ sudo docker run -it --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --cap-add=NET_RAW -p 53:53/udp --dns=8.8.8.8 --hostname=example.com -p 80:80 -p 8080:8080 -p 55554:55554 -p 4545:4545 --name intrasploit-run intrasploit

If you just want to test how it works, you can do so without purchasing a domain name. The easiest way to accomplish it is to use dnsmasq, Docker and Docker machine. Docker machine is necessary because intrasploit and the target service cannot run on the same IP. Therefore, if you run intrasploit in a docker container on your own computer, you cannot target services running on localhost.

Using Docker machine however has one disadvantage, other computers on the same network do not have access to the docker machine and therefore you can only use it from your own machine.

First you create a new machine.

docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default

Take note if its IP address before evaluating all the environmental variables.

docker-machine env default
eval "$(docker-machine env default)"

You can now build the config file, please replace LOCALIP with the IP address of your docker machine. This is the IP used to reach intrasploit.

mkdir -p build && python3 gen_file.py --json '{"demo":"True","root":"example.com", "publicip":"LOCALIP", "webport":80, "storage":"/root/intrasploit.json"}' --template config.tmpl --output build/intrasploit.ini

You can now build the Docker container. You should still be in the same terminal window as this is the window that has the dockher machine variables set. LANIP in this instance should be the server where dnsmasq is running, which is likely your current local IP address.

$ sudo docker build -t intrasploit .
$ sudo docker run --rm -it --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --cap-add=NET_RAW -p 5354:53/udp --dns=LANIP --hostname=example.com -p 80:80 -p 8080:8080 -p 55554:55554 -p 4545:4545 --name intrasploit-run intrasploit

Finally, you need to set up dnsmasq. LOCALIP is the address of you docker machine.

sudo dnsmasq --keep-in-foreground --log-queries --log-facility=- --server=/example.com/LOCALIP#5354 --server=8.8.8.8

dnsmasq is now listening for any DNS connections and you must therefore configure your own machine to use localhost for any DNS queries. The easiest way to accomplish this is to edit /etc/resolv.conf. Just be aware that changes may be overwritten and if that happens you must make the changes again.

If everthing is working correctly, you should be able to visit http://example.com/ in your browser and use the demo.

The following is a high-level description of the design goals:

1. Modular design where components can work relatively independently
2. Each exploit should run as a seperate module indpended of the main program.
3. The program should allow for automatic exploitation when a user has visited a web site

Each substantial function is running as a different service and process. Communication between them happens via Unix domain sockets and each service exposes a HTTP REST API.

The following services exist:

• config - holds configuration information
• webserver - publicly exposed web server and an internal process to control the public web server
• DNS - publicly exposed DNS server and internal process to control DNS server
• import_modules
• service_detection - try and detect which service the target service is running.
• database - hold information about all the clients.
• rshell - receive and manage remote reverse shells

All the services are under services/.

Exploit modules can be written without having an understanding of the inner workings of intrasploit. It is therefore relatively easy for users to extend intrasploit to new services.

All modules fall into one of three categories:

1. Exploits - Anything that accomplishes a goal in and of itself, i.e. it doesn't need to be what is traditionally called an exploit, it's just a module that performs some action.
2. Payloads - Payloads helps exploits modules perform some action. Payloads are not necessary in most exploits, but in some cases, it is useful. One example is the exploit for MSFD where the payload is a reverse shell.
3. Encoder - Encode some payload according to defined bad characters. This is again, usually not used, but is used in the exploit for MSFD.

All the modules are under modules/.

The basic exploit requires the user to visit a web site and when the user leaves the web site, there is no more possibility for exploitation. As a result, exploitation should be performed as quickly as possible.

To achieve this, several design choices have been made.

After DNS rebinding has been performed, the result will be sent back to the server for service detection. Service detection matches the result against nmap's database of probes as well as other self-defined probes to find out what type of service is running.

Each module can define which service is "vulnerable" and therefore decide when to be triggered. The services defined can be generic, like a web site using basic authentication to specific, like a specific version of CouchDB.

Before starting the program, the user must decide on most options that are relevant for modules, this could be options like:

1. IP and port to be used when spawning a reverse shell.
2. IPs to use when hijacking a router's DNS setings.
3. List of usernames and password to use when attempting to brute force password.

A module will gather two types of information, (1) loot and (2) data. Data is arbitrary and can be whatever information doesn't fall into one specific category. Loot should be more actionable and should be data that is useful for an attacker. Loot can again be divided into two categories:

1. Information that is useful, but cannot be used by this tool, like WPA password for wireless access points.
2. Information that can be re-used by this tool, like username and password for a web site.

While the user-defined options is global for all modules, loot is specific for each service and will be set when loading the module. This design allows us to re-use passwortds we have discovered. The typical way this will look like is:

1. DNS rebinding is done and page returns HTTP 401 because we don't know the password.
2. Module which performs a password dictionary attack is loaded and reports back failure or success.
3. If module is successful, service detection is performed again, but with the found username and password.
4. This time, a router is found and the appropriate modules is loaded with the correct username and password.

To further restrict when modules should be launched, the user can define safety- and intrusiveness-levels. Both levels are numerically ordered, so that the user defines the top-most acceptable level for each.
