IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keyring Modules Service (IKEEXT) Missing DLL

Description

This module exploits a missing DLL loaded by the 'IKE and AuthIP Keyring Modules' (IKEEXT) service which runs as SYSTEM, and starts automatically in default installations of Vista-Win8. It requires an insecure bin path to plant the DLL payload.

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 exploit/windows/local/ikeext_service
msf exploit(ikeext_service) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(ikeext_service) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(ikeext_service) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(ikeext_service) > exploit

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.
