Library of expert validated exploits for safe and effective pen tests
Exploit development can be an advanced penetration testing skill that takes time to master. Additionally, when on a job, pen testers often don’t have the resources to create a new exploit. Many resort to searching for and using pre-written exploits that have not been tested and must go through the timely effort of quality assurance testing in order to ensure they are secure and effective.
Core Impact users can save time by finding all the up-to-date exploits they need in one place. We provide a robust library of exploits designed to enable pen testers to safely and efficiently conduct successful penetration tests. Whether written by our own internal team or by a third party like ExCraft, you can trust they have been thoroughly tested and validated by our experts.
The universe of vulnerabilities is huge and not all of them represent the same risk for the customers. Vulnerabilities do not all have the same level of criticality. Some may be easily exploitable by a low-level user, while others may not be exploitable at all. To increase the efficiency of the attacks and the quality of the exploits provided, the Core Impact team has developed selection criteria to prioritize its analysis and implementation. We determine which exploits warrant creation based on the following questions:
What are the most critical attacks from the attacker’s perspective?
What new vulnerabilities are more likely to be exploited in real attacks?
What exploits are the most valuable for Core Impact?
Once an exploit is approved, its priority order considers the following variables:
Vulnerability Properties: CVE, disclosure date, access mechanism and privileges needed.
Target Environment Setup: OS, application prevalence, version and special configurations needed.
Value Provided to Core Impact: Customer request, usage in multiple attacks, allows the installation of an agent, etc.
Technical Cost vs. Benefit: An analysis weighing the resources needed to build an exploit with the internal and external knowledge gained in its creation.
Each one of these variables has a different weight and provides a ranking of the potential exploits to be developed. Following those criteria, the top of the list would contain, for example, a vulnerability on Windows (most popular OS) that can be exploited remotely, without authentication and that provides super user privileges.
Correspondingly, a vulnerability on an application that is rarely installed, needs special configurations, and requires User Interaction, would be at the bottom.

Exploit Type
Product Name
Microsoft Windows Schannel Heap Overflow DoS (MS14-066)
This module exploits a vulnerability in "schannel.dll" by sending a crafted certificate packet to the "Internet Information Services" server via TLS protocol producing a heap overflow in the critical LSASS Windows process.
B&R Automation Studio WebServer Denial of Service 0-Day
Remote Denial Automation Studio WebServer
Windows
Denial of Service / Remote
SCADA
Ultr@VNC Server Error Logging DoS
The logging function used by the Ultr@VNC server is affected by a limited buffer-overflow caused by two strcat calls which add a Windows error message to the output buffer causing the server to crash and stop responding to further connections.
Remote Netis ADSL Router allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.The FTP service is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack. Attackers simply need to log into the router and send and valid FTP command with a character offset of 1461 as the command input
Windows
Denial of Service / Remote
IOT
Microsoft Windows Networks File System 4.1 Remote DoS
Microsoft Windows could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or BSOD the system, caused by a design flaw in the Network File System component.
The cause of the vulnerability is due to the lack of a strict bounds check for the SignaturesOffset field in the Base Block for the base log file (BLF) in CLFS.sys.
Microsoft Windows OpenType Font Validation DoS (MS10-078)
This module exploits a vulnerability in the way that the Windows OpenType Font (OTF) format driver improperly parses specially crafted OpenType fonts.
WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.
Microsoft Windows DHCP Server Heap Overflow Vulnerability DoS Update
A Heap Overflow vulnerability exists in the Windows Server DHCP service when an attacker sends specially crafted packets to a DHCP server. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code on the DHCP server.
This version improves the detection of the effectiveness in non-vulnerable targets.
The RDS service (rds.exe) in HP Data Protector Manager 6.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a packet with a large data size to TCP port 1530.
