Apple Airport Extreme Password Extraction (WDBRPC)

Created
05/30/2018

Description

This module can be used to read the stored password of a vulnerable Apple Airport Extreme access point. Only a small number of firmware versions have the WDBRPC service running, however the factory configuration was vulnerable. It appears that firmware versions 5.0.x as well as 5.1.x are susceptible to this issue. Once the password is obtained, the access point can be managed using the Apple AirPort utility.

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.
