New Fetch Payload
It has been almost a year since Metasploit released the new fetch payloads
[http://nx3lft.goudounet.com/blog/post/2023/05/25/fetch-payloads-a-shorter-path-from-command-injection-to-metasploit-session/]
and since then, 43 of the 79 exploit modules have had support for fetch
payloads. The original payloads supported transferring the second stage over
HTTP, HTTPS and FTP. This week, Metasploit has expanded that protocol support to
include SMB, allowing payloads to be run using rundll3

Shared RubySMB Service Improvements
This week’s updates include improvements to
[http://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/18680] Metasploit
Framework’s SMB server implementation: the SMB server can now be reused across
various SMB modules, which are now able to register their own unique shares and
files. SMB modules can also now be executed concurrently. Currently, there are
15 SMB modules in Metasploit Framework that utilize this feature.

Direct Syscalls Support for Windows Meterpreter
Direct system calls are a well-known technique that is often used to bypass
EDR/AV detection. This technique is particularly useful when dynamic analysis is
performed, where the security software monitors every process on the system to
detect any suspicious activity. One common way to do so is to add user-land
hooks on Win32 API calls, especially those commonly used by malware. Direct
syscalls are a way to run system calls directly and enter kernel

Unicode your way to a php payload and three modules to add to your playbook for
Ansible
Our own jheysel-r7 added an exploit leveraging the fascinating tool of php
filter chaining to prepend a payload using encoding conversion characters and
h00die et. al. have come through and added 3 new Ansible post modules to gather
configuration information, read files, and deploy payloads. While none offer
instantaneous answers across the universe, they will certainly help in red team
exercises.

Continuing the 12th Labor of Metasploit
Metasploit continues its Herculean task of increasing our toolset to tame
Kerberos by adding support for AS_REP Roasting, which allows retrieving the
password hashes of users who have Do not require Kerberos preauthentication set
on the domain controller. The setting is disabled by default, but it is enabled
in some environments.
Attackers can request the hash for any user with that option enabled, and worse
(or better?) you can query the DC to determine

Customizable DNS resolution
Contributor smashery [http://github.com/smashery] added a new dns command to
Metasploit console, which allows the user to customize the behavior of DNS
resolution. Similarly to the route command, it is now possible to specify where
DNS requests should be sent to avoid any information leak. Before these changes,
the Framework was using the default local system configuration. Now, it is
possible to specify which DNS server should be queried based on rules that match

Possible Web Service Removal
Metasploit has support for running with a local database, or from a remote web
service which can be initialized with msfdb init --component webservice. Future
versions of Metasploit Framework may remove the msfdb remote webservice. Users
that leverage this functionality are invited to react on an issue currently on
GitHub [http://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/issues/18439] to inform
the maintainers that the feature is used.
