how to list 2015 android exploits in metasploit by searching for some filenames regular expressions in metasploit directories hierarchy?
To list Android exploits from 2015 or to search for specific filenames using regular expressions in the Metasploit Framework, you can follow these steps. However, please ensure you have the Metasploit Framework installed and properly configured on your system.
1. **Navigate to the Metasploit Directory**:
Open your terminal and change to the Metasploit Framework directory. The typical location is `/usr/share/metasploit-framework`, but it may vary based on your installation.
```bash
cd /usr/share/metasploit-framework
```
2. **Use `grep` to Search for Exploits**:
You can utilize the `grep` command to find files related to Android exploits from 2015. Here's how you can do it:
```bash
grep -riE "android.*2015" modules/exploits/
```
Breakdown of the command:
- `grep`: Command to search for patterns in files.
- `-r`: Recursively search through directories.
- `-i`: Ignores case distinctions in both the pattern and the input files.
- `-E`: Enables extended regular expressions.
- `"android.*2015"`: Regex pattern to match any line that contains "android" followed by any characters and then "2015".
- `modules/exploits/`: Directory where Metasploit exploit modules are located.
3. **Filter Results for Specific Files**:
The above command would list any line containing both “android” and “2015” across all exploit modules. If you want to filter results to show only the file names and paths, you can use:
```bash
grep -rilE "android.*2015" modules/exploits/
```
Here, the `-l` option makes `grep` print only the names of files with matching lines, once for each file.
4. **Check the Exploits**:
Based on the output, you can navigate to those files to check their contents and see if they indeed relate to Android exploits from 2015.
5. **List All Exploits**:
If you just want a list of Android exploits and not limited to 2015, you could run:
```bash
grep -ril "android" modules/exploits/
```
Using these commands, you can effectively sift through the Metasploit Framework's directory structure to identify Android exploits from 2015 or related exploits based on regular expressions.
