Honey Potting for MS11-083

MS11-083 has arrived and people are getting both excited and scared, it looks like its going to be the next MS08-067. Which if you remember, Conficker used to bend windows over and have a jol. Time for a honeypot?

In anycase I took a moment and decided to write a script that would capture potential MS11-083 traffic in an attempt to capture this exploit in the wild (once its out there, might as well start looking). According to the security bulletin “The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if an attacker sends a continuous flow of specially crafted UDP packets to a closed port on a target system”. So that’s exactly what I looked at, I used netstat -un and -lun to find all open and listening ports and filtered them out. UDP packets to a closed port normally results in a ICMP Port Unreachable response or no response at all, so I’ve ignored them.

The code is commented and you need the little bash script in the same folder to get the ports. Remember to make it executable (sudo chmod +x getports.sh) and run ms11-083_sniffer.py as root. It will create a pcap file named the <current datetime.pcap> and any UDP traffic heading towards a closed port will be logged.

Once you have some pcaps and you think they might contain exploit traffic remember that sharing is caring and karma is a bitch, don’t share if it was just Chuck Testa. My code is dirty and I wrote it quickly so don’t hate, feel free to modify and make it better.

I’ll try and add my nmap enumeration script tomorrow, it does a portscan and OS fingerprint on a given host and inserts that data into a sqlitedb. That way you can check if the traffic was coming from a windows host.

ms11-083_sniffer.py

getports.sh

With the bash script, just remove the .txt file extension (my hosting is being annoying). Below is the code if you want to have a peek.
