DerbyCon 2017 Presentation VMware Escapology: How to Houdini the Hypervisor

Experimental Metasploit Framework Code

WARNING

This is very much an unstable work in progress and is presented for demonstration purposes only. It is currently not considered "production-ready" for inclusion in the Metasploit Framework. For example, this code results in a memory leak on the targeted process. This is a known issue. Attempts to free the allocated memory currently result in a timeout condition.

Once it is stable, a pull request will be created.

WARNING

If testing, the main steps:

• $cp vmware.rb metasploit-framework/lib/msf/core/post/vmware.rb
• and either edit metasploit-framework/lib/msf/core/post.rb to require vmware.rb
• AND/OR irb> Kernel.load "metasploit-framework/lib/msf/core/post/vmware.rb"
