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.

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.
