This button will provide the setg Proxies syntax needed to tunnel the Metasploit® Framework through your Beacon. Highlight the proxy pivot you setup and press Tunnel. If you find the above tough to remember, go to View -> Proxy Pivots. Once you’re done pivoting through Beacon in this way, use unsetg Proxies to stop this behavior. These commands will instruct the Metasploit® Framework to apply your Proxies option to all modules executed from this point forward. Setg Proxies socks4:team server IP:proxy port
The beacon includes a variety of functions like command execution, keylogging, file transfer, SOCKS proxying, privilege escalation, mimikatz, port scanning, and lateral movement. Create a Beacon SOCKS proxy server and paste the following into your Metasploit® Framework console: Cobalt Strike is a penetration testing tool that allows an attacker to deploy an agent named ‘Beacon’ on the target machine. You may also tunnel Metasploit® Framework exploits and modules through Beacon. You may use proxychains to force third-party tools through Cobalt Strike’s SOCKS server. The proxychains tool will force an external program to use a SOCKS proxy server that youĭesignate. Cobalt Strike’s phishing tool repurposes saved emails into. Use Cobalt Strike’s spear phishing tool to deliver your weaponized document to one or more people in your target’s network.
Use socks stop in a Beacon console to stop a SOCKS proxy server. Cobalt Strike also has options to export its post-exploitation payload, Beacon, in a variety of formats for pairing with artifacts outside of this toolset. Beacon is a Cobalt Strike payload that periodically phones home to request taskings.
To see the SOCKS servers that are currently setup, go to View -> Proxy Pivots. + Beacon callback events are now suppressed from reports and logs - MSF Scans feature now runs httpversion against port 443 27 Sept 12 - Cobalt Strike 1.44 - + Added Beacon management feature. If you'd like to pivot traffic overĭNS, use the DNS TXT record communication mode. You may tunnel via SOCKS through any type of Beacon (even an SMB Beacon).īeacon's HTTP data channel is the most responsive for pivoting purposes. Or, use socksĨ080 to setup a SOCKS4a proxy server on port 8080 (or any other port you choose).Īll connections that go through these SOCKS servers turn into connect, read, write, and close tasks for theĪssociated Beacon to execute. Go to -> Pivoting -> SOCKS Server to setup a SOCKS4a proxy server on your team server.
