Description

ronin-exploits is a Ruby micro-framework for writing and running exploits. ronin-exploits allows one to write exploits as plain old Ruby classes. ronin-exploits can be distributed as Ruby files or as git repositories that can be installed using ronin-repos.

tl;dr It's like a simpler and more modular version of Metasploit.

ronin-exploits is part of the ronin-rb project, a Ruby toolkit for security research and development.

Features

• Provides a succinct syntax and API for writing exploits in as few lines as possible.
• Supports defining exploits as plain old Ruby classes.
• Supports loading exploits from Ruby files or from installed 3rd-party git repositories.
• Provides base classes and mixin modules for a variety of exploit types:
  • Stack Overflows
  • SEH Overflows
  • Heap Overflows
  • Use After Free (UAF)
  • Command Injection
  • Open Redirect
  • Local File Inclusions (LFI)
  • Remote File Inclusions (RFI)
  • SQL injections (SQLi)
  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
  • Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI)
• Uses the ronin-payloads library for exploit payloads.
• Uses the ronin-post_ex library for post-exploitation.
• Provides a simple CLI for listing, displaying, running, and generating new exploits.
• Has 9%% test coverage.
• Has 86% documentation coverage.
• Small memory footprint (~47Kb).

Anti-Features

• No magic: exploits are defined as classes in files.
• No global state that could cause memory leaks.
• Not a big bulky framework, just a library.
• Not a central repository. Additional Ronin exploits can be hosted in other git repositories. This prevents censorship of exploit research.
• Does not contain any pre-written exploits. This prevents ronin-exploits from being taken down or censored.

Synopsis

Usage: ronin-exploits [options] [COMMAND [ARGS...]]

Options:
    -h, --help                       Print help information

Arguments:
    [COMMAND]                        The command name to run
    [ARGS ...]                       Additional arguments for the command

Commands:
    completion
    help
    irb
    list, ls
    new
    run
    show, info

Generate a new exploit file:

$ ronin-exploits new example_exploit.rb --type stack-overflow \
    --arch x86 --os linux --software ExampleWare --software-version 1.2.3 \
    --author Postmodern --author-email "[email protected]" \
    --summary "Example exploit" --description "This is an example."

Install a 3rd-party repository of exploits:

$ ronin-repos install https://github.com/user/exploits.git

List available exploits:

$ ronin-exploits list

Print information about an exploit:

$ ronin-exploits show NAME

Print information about an exploit from a file:

$ ronin-exploits show -f path/to/exploit.rb

Run an exploit:

$ ronin-exploits run my_exploit --param host=example.com --param port=9999

Load an exploit from a specific file, then run it:

$ ronin-exploits run -f path/to/my_exploit.rb --param host=example.com --param port=9999

Run an exploit with a raw payload:

$ ronin-exploits run my_exploit --param host=example.com --param port=9999 \
    --payload-string $'\x66\x31\xc0\xfe\xc0\xb3\xff\xcd\x80'

Read a raw payload from a file:

$ ronin-exploits run my_exploit --param host=example.com --param port=9999 \
    --read-payload shellcode.bin

Generate a ronin repository of your own exploits (and/or payloads):

$ ronin-repos new my-repo
$ cd my-repo/
$ mkdir exploits
$ ronin-exploits new exploits/my_exploit.rb --type stack-overflow \
    --arch x86 --os linux --software ExampleWare --software-version 1.2.3 \
    --author You --author-email "[email protected]" \
    --summary "My exploit" --description "This is my example."
$ vim exploits/my_exploit.rb
$ git add exploits/my_exploit.rb
$ git commit
$ git push
