Add legba module for bruteforcing various services

[christianfl]

Hey there!

Saw the discussion on: #1689

We developed a Legba module internally and I did a thorough review. Would you mind include it and/or have some comments?

Best wishes,
Christian

Supported protocols

• SSH
• FTP
• TELNET
• VNC
• MSSQL
• MySQL
• PostgreSQL

Screenshot

ToDo

• Write tests
• Support all distros
• Manual tests

This looks great, nice work! Legba has been a much requested module.

The trick will be writing tests for the different protocols, and also getting Legba to compile properly on all the different platforms.

@Vinnie64 may be able to help as he's been working on something similar to this

[christianfl]

Nice! I can start working on it and see how it goes. Input from @Vinnie64 is also appreciated

[christianfl]

I think the distro tests are now failing because deps_ansible run before deps_common:

• See test-distros (debian) L8572 following -> Ansible tasks for building Legba fails (L10095 "msg": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: b'cargo'")
• See test-distros (debian) L10124 following -> Ansible tasks for installing rust seem to work

Is it intended this way? At least I expected it to be the other way around @TheTechromancer

deps_ansible run before deps_common

I think deps_common should run first. I'll see about fixing.

EDIT:

• Modules: Run Ansible Dependencies Last #2549

[TheTechromancer]

@christianfl that fix has been merged; you may need to rebase from dev.

[christianfl]

Thanks @TheTechromancer !
Looking good, Arch and Fedora left

[christianfl]

Hey! Did a bit of work again 😎

Feedback welcome! If you'd consider merging, feel free to squash the commits into one.

Saw that you are in the process of deprecate vulnerability events in favor of finding events here. Changed code accordingly. Even if severity and confidence are not yet supported attributes of finding, it still runs with the current changes.

Hi, yes this is happening - but it wont make into stable until 3.0. Could be a while before that happens.

Going to try to test this out next week, from what I had a chance to look at so far, looks great. Really appreciate all the work writing tests and supporting all the distros, etc.

[christianfl]

You're very welcome! Ok good to know, cool to see those event type merged. Feel free to ping me in case anything's needed here.

[TheTechromancer]

Fantastic work on this module. A couple small changes and then it should be good to merge:

1. Let's use the scan's temp directory instead of /tmp
2. We don't need to specify defaults in the option descriptions since they're already shown in bbot -mh legba

[christianfl]

Thanks for reviewing! I applied the suggested changes but the test is failing for me locally. I'll have to look at it later.

[christianfl]

My fault 😁 Works again. I squashed commits so I think it's ready to be merged!

[christianfl]

Just FYI, I think the one failed test was only due to a CI hickup.

[TheTechromancer]

@christianfl thanks again for your work on this. I want to merge it but it's adding 30 minutes to the tests. I noticed even when running it on my laptop it takes upwards of 10 minutes to compile 😬

I hate to ask since I know you already fought with the ansible stuff. But now that legba finally has precompiled releases, can we opt for downloading those directly?

[christianfl]

No worries @TheTechromancer
A colleague of mine was working on this already, he'll push the changes to the branch directly.

[TheTechromancer]

Any update on this? We got so close, would love to get it merged!

[christianfl]

Sorry for the delay, we were exceedingly busy. We'll look at it soon. Be assured, I can only rest once this is merged!

[TheTechromancer]

We should be able to do this all in one go similar to here:

bbot/bbot/modules/httpx.py
