Class: Rex::Exploitation::CmdStagerCertutil

Inherits:
CmdStagerBase show all
Defined in:
lib/rex/exploitation/cmdstager/certutil.rb

Overview

This class provides the ability to create a sequence of commands from an executable. When this sequence is ran via command injection or a shell, the resulting exe will be written to disk and executed.

This particular version uses Windows certutil to base64 decode a file, created via echo >>, and decode it to the final binary.
