HTTP Writable Path PUT/DELETE File Access

Created
05/30/2018

Description

This module can abuse misconfigured web servers to upload and delete web content via PUT and DELETE HTTP requests. Set ACTION to either PUT or DELETE. PUT is the default. If filename isn't specified, the module will generate a random string for you as a .txt file. If DELETE is used, a filename is required.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use auxiliary/scanner/http/http_put
msf auxiliary(http_put) > show actions
    ...actions...
msf auxiliary(http_put) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(http_put) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(http_put) > run 

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
