## Description
This module identifies a list of indices which an Elasticsearch NoSQL database has. This occurs over the REST API, which on community versions is an unauthenticated API. Customers who subscribe to a support plan can add authentication to this API restricting access.
## Vulnerable Application
### Install Elasticsearch on Kali Linux:
With this install, we'll install the free community edition of Elasticsearch, which does not require authentication to the API. However, this is unrealistic in a production environment which will often leverage a support contract to gain authentication, a reverse proxy to add basic authentication, and/or a host firewall to restrict access to this API.
The following instructions assume you are beginning with a fresh Kali installation as the root user.
1. `useradd -M -r elasticsearch`
2. `su elasticsearch`
3. `cd /tmp`
4. `curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-6.3.2.tar.gz`
5. `tar -xvf elasticsearch-6.3.2.tar.gz`
6. `cd elasticsearch-6.3.2/bin`
7. `./elasticsearch`
8. Open a new terminal
9. In the new terminal, `curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:9200/msf_test` to create an index for validation purposes
## Verification Steps
1. `use auxiliary/scanner/elasticsearch/indices_enum`
2. `set RHOSTS [ips]`
3. `set RPORT [port]`
4. `run`
## Scenarios
### Elasticsearch 6.3.2 on Kali Linux
```
msf > use auxiliary/scanner/elasticsearch/indices_enum
msf auxiliary(scanner/elasticsearch/indices_enum) > set RHOSTS 10.10.10.25
RHOSTS => 10.10.10.25
msf auxiliary(scanner/elasticsearch/indices_enum) > run
[+] ElasticSearch Indices found: msf_test
[*] Scanned 1 of 1 hosts (100% complete)
[*] Auxiliary module execution completed
```
