Rapid 7 - Metasploit Wrap-Up

Word and Javascript are a rare duo.

Metasploit Wrap-Up

Thanks to thesunRider. you too can experience the wonder of this mystical duo. The sole new metasploit module this release adds a file format attack to generate a very special document. By utilizing Javascript embedded in a Word document to trigger a chain of events that slip through various Windows facilities, a session as the user who opened the document can be yours.

Do you like spiders?

It has been 3 years since SMB2 support was added to smb share enumeration and over a year ago SMB3 support was added, yet the spiders are not done spinning their webs. Thanks to sjanusz-r7 the spiders have evolved to take advantage of these new skills and the webs can span new doorways. Updates to scanner/smb/smb_enumshares improve enumeration support for the latest Windows targets that deploy with SMB3 only by default.
