Man-in-the-middle Fake DNS for Metasploit

Man-in-the-middle Fake DNS for Metasploit

On Episode 116 of PaulDotCom Security Weekly, Paul mentioned how it would be nice if one could have a little bit finer control over the behavior of Metasploit’s fake DNS server. It seemed like an easy enough hack, so I’ve thrown this together. I can see this being useful in some situations, and hopefully you will too.

Metasploit’s fakedns.rb is good at what it does, which is respond to any DNS query with a spoofed response pointing at a specific IP address. This module, which I’ve decided to name “mitm_fakedns.rb”, is a dirty, filthy hack of fakedns.rb. It’s not nearly as polished and thought-out as the web_search_scan.rb module I wrote and posted about a couple of days ago, but it is kinda neat anyway.

It’ll listen for DNS, and when it gets a request, it will go ahead and pass it on to a real DNS server that you can specify. Once it gets the response from the real DNS server, it’ll modify that response to point to the IP addresses you specify if it matches one of a set of regexes you provide. This allows you to be a little more “surgical” with whatever attack you have planned, by only spoofing domain names of-interest.

Let’s have a look at the “show info”:

Basic options:
  Name      Current Setting  Required  Description
  ----      ---------------  --------  -----------
  FILENAME                   yes       File of ip,regex for filtering responses
  REALDNS                    yes       Ask this server for answers
  SRVHOST   0.0.0.0          yes       The local host to listen on.
  SRVPORT   53               yes       The local port to listen on.          
Description:

This hack of the metasploit fakedns.rb serves as a sort of MITM DNS
server. Requests are passed through to a real DNS server, and the
responses are modified before being returned to the client, if they
match regular expressions set in FILENAME.

Once it's loaded, we can set our variables:

Code:
msf auxiliary(mitm_fakedns) > cat /Users/wesley/hosts.txt
[*] exec: cat /Users/wesley/hosts.txt

192.168.1.1,google.com
10.0.0.1,example.com
msf auxiliary(mitm_fakedns) > set FILENAME /Users/wesley/hosts.txt
FILENAME => /Users/wesley/hosts.txt
msf auxiliary(mitm_fakedns) > set REALDNS 192.168.1.254
REALDNS => 192.168.1.254
msf auxiliary(mitm_fakedns) > run
[*] Auxiliary module running as background job
msf auxiliary(mitm_fakedns) >
The file you specify should have an IP address and a regular expression, one pair per line. Once it’s running, you can test it out by pointing “dig” at it:

HacBook:~ wesley$ dig @127.0.0.1 example.com

This should serve as a pretty good drop-in replacement for fakedns.rb for some attacks. Here’s the source:
