+ ## Vulnerable Application
2
+
3
+ Finger is an older protocol which displays information about users on a machine. This can be abused to verify if a user is valid on that machine.
4
+ The protocol itself was designed in the 1970s, and is run in cleartext.
5
+
6
+ The following was done on Kali linux:
7
+
8
+ 1 . ` apt-get install inetutils-inetd fingerd `
9
+ 2 . Start the service: ` /etc/init.d/inetutils-inetd start `
10
+
11
+ ## Verification Steps
12
+
13
+ 1 . Install fingerd
14
+ 2 . Start msfconsole
15
+ 3 . Do: ` use auxiliary/scanner/finger/finger_users `
16
+ 4 . Do: ` set rhosts `
17
+ 5 . Do: ` run `
18
+
19
+ ## Options
20
+
21
+ ** USERS_FILE**
22
+
23
+ The USERS_FILE is a newline delimited list of users and defaults to ` unix_users.txt ` included with metasploit.
24
+
25
+ ## Scenarios
26
+
27
+ A run against the configuration from these docs
28
+
29
+ ```
30
+ msf > use auxiliary/scanner/finger/finger_users
31
+ msf auxiliary(finger_users) > set rhosts 127.0.0.1
32
+ rhosts => 127.0.0.1
33
+ msf auxiliary(finger_users) > run
34
+
35
+ [+] 127.0.0.1:79 - 127.0.0.1:79 - Found user: root
36
+ [+] 127.0.0.1:79 - 127.0.0.1:79 Users found: root
37
+ [*] Scanned 1 of 1 hosts (100% complete)
38
+ [*] Auxiliary module execution completed
39
+ ```
You can’t perform that action at this time.
