Vulnerable Application

This post-exploitation module will extract saved user data from Internet Explorer. For IE versions of 7 and newer the module will try to extract and decrypt saved credentials as well.

Verification Steps

  1. Start msfconsole

  2. Get meterpreter session

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

  4. Do: set SESSION <session id>

  5. Do: run

  6. You should be able to see the extracted IE browser data in the loot files

Options

  • SESSION - The session to run the module on.

Extracted data

  • History

  • Cookies

  • Autocomplete data

  • Credentials (only for >= IE7)

    • HTTP auth credentials

    • Saved form credentials

Scenarios

Using the module with an earlier version than IE7 (IE6)

In this scenario the module won't be able to extract credential data.

msf post(enum_ie) > set SESSION 1

Using the module with IE7+ (IE8)

In this scenario the module will try to extract credential data, display it in the console and save it in a loot file.
