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.

XM Easy Personal FTP Server DoS
XM Easy Personal FTP Server is prone to multiple remote denial-of-
service vulnerabilities because it fails to properly handle user-supplied input.
Microsoft Windows DHCP Server Heap Overflow Vulnerability DoS Update 2
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.
This update uses Impacket replacing Impacket 2014r1.
This module exploits a vulnerability in DHCP Server in OpenBSD. The vulnerability is caused due to the improper handling of DHCP requests within dhcpd in the cons_options() function in options.c. This cause a stack-based buffer corruption by sending a specially crafted DHCP request specifying a maximum message size smaller than 278.
This module, if successfull, will leave the service (dhcpd) unavailable.

Microsoft Windows SMB Server Stop Responding DoS (MS11-048)
This module exploits a vulnerability on Microsoft Windows SMB Server via a SMB crafted packet.
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 HTTP Stack DoS
This bug could allow an attacker to gain code execution on an affected system by sending specially crafted packets to a system utilizing the HTTP Protocol Stack (http.sys) to process packets. No user interaction, no privileges required, and an elevated service add up to a wormable bug. And while this is definitely more server-centric, remember that Windows clients can also run http.sys, so all affected versions are affected by this bug. Test and deploy this patch quickly.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing certain packets and can be exploited to cause a crash via a specially crafted packet sent to TCP port 2194.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the WireShark openSAFETY dissector, sending a specially crafted openSAFETY packet over UDP, causing WireShark to crash.
Microsoft Windows NDIS Pool Overflow Vulnerability DoS (MS15-117)
A vulnerability in the Network Driver Interface Standard (NDIS) implementation in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, and Windows 7 SP1 allows local users to trigger buffer overflow.
This allows unprivileged local users to cause an invalid dereference in kernel mode, which produces a BSoD.
