Once you have opened a session, there are a few extra options you can set for improved usability: In next week's UI update, the correct name will be used. PLEASE NOTE: Due to some bad spelling on my behalf, the path for Lester is actually "post/multi/recon/local_exploit_suggestor" rather than the correctly spelled "post/multi/recon/local_exploit_suggester". For instance, Python Meterpreter is treated as implementing the 'python' platform, which can miss native platform exploits currently. For all other operating systems, a shell will give you better results due to the way platform exploit matching works. If you are using Windows, I would recommend using Meterpreter. It is important to note that the type of session you have on your target can change the vulnerabilities that are detected. Where The Vulns At?īefore you can use the local exploit suggester, you must already have a session opened on your target. Let's take a closer look at what Lester can do. With the Lester, you will get exactly what you need in an easy to understand format. If you have ever had to generate a report for a pen test, you've probably experienced the frustration of finding the most relevant CVEs for a particular endpoint. It saves time too, since you don't have to manually search for local exploits until something works. This is a great module for scanning a system without being overly intrusive. Lester is a post module that you can use to check a system for local vulnerabilities, using the local exploit checks in Metasploit, without having to fire off any of the exploits. After some research, testing, and more than a few energy drinks, sinn3r ( sinn3r ) and I have authored the first version of the Metasploit Local Exploit Suggester, or Lester for short. I am currently an intern at Rapid7, working with the Metasploit team in Austin. Hey there, my name is Mo ( Mohamed Sadek ). Last updated at Tue, 14:11:18 GMT Meet Lester, the Exploit Suggester
