How to Use KSploit: A Complete Guide

KSploit is a menu-driven script that helps automate the creation of payloads, listeners, and the injection of payloads into Windows executables using the Metasploit Framework. This guide provides an accurate step-by-step process to get KSploit running and use its various features.

---

Step 1: Install Metasploit Framework

Before you can use KSploit, you need to have the Metasploit Framework installed.

• For Kali Linux: Metasploit is preinstalled by default.
• For other Linux distributions: Follow the installation instructions provided in the [Metasploit GitHub repo](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework).

To check if Metasploit is installed, you can run the following command:

msfconsole --version

If Metasploit is not installed, you can install it with:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y metasploit-framework

---

Step 2: Clone the KSploit Repository

Clone the KSploit repository to your machine:

git clone https://github.com/kaotickj/K-Sploit.git
cd K-Sploit

---

Step 3: Set Executable Permissions

You need to make the ksploit.sh script executable. Run the following command:

chmod +x ksploit.sh

---

Step 4: (Optional) Add KSploit to Your PATH

If you prefer to run KSploit from anywhere in your terminal, you can add the KSploit directory to your system's PATH.

echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/K-Sploit"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Replace /path/to/K-Sploit with the actual path to the directory where KSploit is located. For example, if you cloned it into your home directory, the path would be /home/user/K-Sploit.

---

Step 5: Run the Script

Now that KSploit is set up, you can run the script by using the following command:

./ksploit.sh

This will launch KSploit with a splash screen and a menu-driven interface.

---

Step 6: Using KSploit Menus

Once the script runs, you will be presented with several menus to choose from:

1. Listeners Menu
   Press 1 to load the Listeners menu. This allows you to create and quickly deploy Metasploit listeners for various targets (Windows x86/x64, Linux x86/x64, macOS, and Android).

   • Example: You can craft a listener to wait for incoming connections from a reverse shell.

2. Payloads Menu
   Press 2 to load the Payloads menu. This is where you can easily craft Metasploit payloads for a variety of targets, including Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and Python.

   • Example: You can generate a reverse shell payload for Windows, which will later be injected into an executable.

3. Windows Executable Injection
   Press 3 to load the Windows Executable Injection menu. This feature allows you to inject Metasploit payloads into existing Windows executables. Once injected, these executables can be sent to the target, which will then trigger the payload when executed.

   • Example: Inject a reverse shell payload into a benign-looking Windows executable, which can then be executed by the target user.

Step 7: Payload Injection and Execution

Once you've selected an option and configured your payload or listener:

1. Create the Payload: Choose your desired payload, specify the LHOST (your IP address), and the LPORT (the port to listen on).

2. Inject into Executable: If you selected the Windows executable injection option, you'll be asked to choose the executable file you want to inject the payload into. This file can be anything from a harmless utility to an actual Windows program.

3. Deploy and Wait for Connection: Once the payload is injected and the executable is delivered to the target, execute the program. The target will connect back to your listener, and you will gain access to their system.

Step 8: Cleanup and Ethical Considerations

• Always ensure that you have explicit permission to test any system. Unauthorized access to systems is illegal and unethical.
• Clean up any test systems to ensure that no backdoors or payloads remain active.
• Document your actions and findings for a professional penetration test report.

Conclusion

KSploit is an excellent tool for automating payload creation, listener setup, and payload injection into Windows executables. By using its simple, menu-driven interface, you can quickly set up penetration testing scenarios and gain access to target systems in a controlled and ethical manner.
