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.

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.
Microsoft Windows HTTP Services Integer Underflow DoS (MS09-013)
This module exploits an integer underflow on "SSDP Discovery Service" Windows service through HTTP response.
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.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Sun Java System Web Server, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or compromise a vulnerable system. These issues are caused by buffer overflow errors when processing malformed "TRACE" or "OPTIONS" requests, or overly long "Authorization: Digest" headers, which could be exploited by attackers to crash an affected server or execute arbitrary code. This exploit forces the server process to throw an unhandled exception and be restarted.
Microsoft Windows LSASS Memory Corruption DoS (MS16-137)
This module exploits an exceptcional condition in "lsasrv.dll" by sending a crafted "Session Setup Request" SMBv1 or SMBv2 packet that is affected during the NTML Auth message.
avahi-core/socket.c in avahi-daemon in Avahi before 0.6.29 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via an empty IPv4 or IPv6 UDP packet to port 5353. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2010-2244.
Microsoft Windows DNS Resolution Remote DoS (MS11-030)
This module exploits a memory corruption in the DNS Client Service by sending a specially crafted LLMNR broadcast query to crash the service.
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.
This module shuts down the TYPSoft FTP Server because it fails to properly handle user-supplied malformed packets using for login the Anonymous user provided by default for the program
The DRDA protocol dissector in Wireshark can enter an infinite loop when processing an specially crafted DRDA packet with the iLength field set to 0, causing Wireshark to stop responding.
