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 TrueType Font Parsing Vulnerability Clientside DoS (MS11-087)
When a crafted TTF file is processed by Windows kernel it produces a stack exhaustion finishing it in a BSoD.
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 Host Integration Server Remote DoS (MS11-082)
Microsoft Host Integration Server is prone to a remote denial of service due to improper memory handling by the process SnaBase.exe when parsing UDP packets arriving on port 1478.
The amd64_set_ldt() function in sys/amd64/amd64/sys_machdep.c in the FreeBSD kernel code is prone to an integer signedness error when processing a system call with specially crafted parameters originated from user space.
This issue ultimately leads to a kernel heap overflow, which can be used by unprivileged local attackers to cause a kernel panic and crash the machine.
Microsoft Windows SMTP Server MX Record Vulnerability DoS (MS10-024)
This module exploits a vulnerability on Microsoft Windows SMTP Server 64 bits sending a malformed DNS response from a spoofed DNS Server.
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 Embedded OpenType Fonts Integer Overflow DoS (MS09-065) Update
This module causes a DoS in win32k.sys when attempts are made to render a malformed embedded font. This updates improves the functionality of the module.
Cerberus FTP Server is prone to a denial-of-service. The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the processing of overly long arguments passed via FTP commands.
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 Active Directory Browser Election Remote DoS
This module exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Active Directory by sending a specially crafted Browser Election SMB packet that will crash the target machine.
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 Hyper-V VMBus Vulnerability DoS (MS10-102)
This module exploits a vulnerability on Microsoft Hyper-V sending a crafted packet from the "guest OS" to the "host OS" through the vmbus mechanism.
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
