#cmd_exec(cmd, args = nil, time_out = 15, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Executes cmd on the remote system

On Windows meterpreter, this will go through CreateProcess as the “commandLine” parameter. This means it will follow the same rules as Windows’ path disambiguation. For example, if you were to call this method thusly:

cmd_exec("c:\\program files\\sub dir\\program name")

Windows would look for these executables, in this order, passing the rest of the line as arguments:

c:\program.exe
c:\program files\sub.exe
c:\program files\sub dir\program.exe
c:\program files\sub dir\program name.exe

On POSIX meterpreter, if args is set or if cmd contains shell metacharacters, the server will run the whole thing in /bin/sh. Otherwise, (cmd is a single path and there are no arguments), it will execve the given executable.

On Java, it is passed through Runtime.getRuntime().exec(String) and PHP uses proc_open() both of which have similar semantics to POSIX.

On shell sessions, this passes cmd directly the session’s shell_command_token method.

Returns a (possibly multi-line) String.

    #
    # The meterpreter API requires arguments to come separately from the
    # executable path. This has no effect on Windows where the two are just
    # blithely concatenated and passed to CreateProcess or its brethren. On
    # POSIX, this allows the server to execve just the executable when a
    # shell is not needed. Determining when a shell is not needed is not
    # always easy, so it assumes anything with arguments needs to go through
    # /bin/sh.
    #
    # This problem was originally solved by using Shellwords.shellwords but
    # unfortunately, it is unsuitable. When a backslash occurs inside double
    # quotes (as is often the case with Windows commands) it inexplicably
    # removes them. So. Shellwords is out.
    #
    # By setting +args+ to an empty string, we can get POSIX to send it
    # through /bin/sh, solving all the pesky parsing troubles, without
    # affecting Windows.

#cmd_exec_with_result(cmd, args = nil, timeout = 15, opts = {}) ⇒ Array(String, Boolean)

Executes cmd on the remote system and return an array containing the output and if it was successful or not.

This is simply a wrapper around #cmd_exec that also checks the exit code to determine if the execution was successful or not.

Parameters:

  • cmd (String) —

    The command to execute

  • args (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The optional arguments of the command (can de included in cmd instead)

  • timeout (Integer) (defaults to: 15) —

    The time in sec. to wait before giving up

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    An Hash of options (see #cmd_exec)

Returns:

  • (Array(String, Boolean)) —

    Array containing the output string followed by a boolean indicating if the command succeeded or not. When this boolean is 'true`, the first field contains the normal command output. When it is `false`, the first field contains the error message returned by the command or a timeout error message if the timeout expired.

#command_exists?(cmd) ⇒ Boolean

Checks if the specified command can be executed by the session. It should be noted that not all commands correspond to a binary file on disk. For example, a bash shell session will provide the ‘eval` command when there is no `eval` binary on disk. Likewise, a Powershell session will provide the `Get-Item` command when there is no `Get-Item` executable on disk.

Parameters:

  • cmd (String) —

    the command to check

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true when the command exists
