Inveigh
Inveigh is a cross-platform .NET IPv4/IPv6 machine-in-the-middle tool for penetration testers. This repo contains the primary C# version as well as the legacy PowerShell version.
Overview
Inveigh conducts spoofing attacks and hash/credential captures through both packet sniffing and protocol specific listeners/sockets. The packet sniffing method, which was the basis for the original PowerShell version of this tool, has the following advantages:
- SMB NTLM challenge/response captures over the Window's SMB service
- Fewer visible port binds on the host system
The primary disadvantage is the required elevated access.
On current versions of Windows, the default running UDP services allow port reuse. Therefore, packet sniffing no longer provides an advantage for getting around in-use UDP ports. Inveigh's UDP listeners are all configured to take advantage of port reuse.
Version Descriptions
- PowerShell Inveigh - original version developed over many years. For now at least, this version (1.506) will go without additional updates. Documentation can be found here.
- C# Inveigh (aka InveighZero) - original C# POC code combined with a C# port of most of the PowerShell version's code. This version has now been rebuilt for C# and is taking over as the primary version.
Features
The C# version of Inveigh contains attacks for the following protocols:
- LLMNR [packet sniffer | listener]
- DNS [packet sniffer | listener]
- mDNS [packet sniffer | listener]
- NBNS [packet sniffer | listener]
- DHCPv6 [packet sniffer | listener]
- ICMPv6 [privileged raw socket]
- HTTP [listener]
- HTTPS [listener]
- SMB [packet sniffer | listener]
- LDAP [listener]
- WebDAV [listener]
- Proxy Auth [listener]
Inveigh works with both IPv4 and IPv6 in cases where support for both is provided by the underlying protocol.
Cross-Platform Support
Inveigh's SDK style project file is setup for .NET 3.5, 4.6.2, and 6.0 with 6.0 being the version that also works with Linux and macOS.
<TargetFrameworks>net35;net62;net6.0</TargetFrameworks>
Known Issues
- The packet sniffer is available only on Windows due to differences in the raw socket setups. When compiled for either Linux or macOS, the packet sniffer will just be disabled. Instead, Inveigh's SMB listener can be used if port 445 is open.
- macOS requires that routes are available for joining multicast groups. In my testing, I've had to add routes for DHCPv6 multicast in order to carry out that attack on this platform.
sudo route -nv add -net ff02::1:2 -interface en0
Execution
dotnet Inveigh.dll
Linux/macOS Platform Targeted Builds
-
With .NET 6.0 installed on target system
dotnet publish -r linux-x64 -f net8.0 -p:AssemblyName=inveigh
dotnet publish -r osx-x64 -f net8.0 -p:AssemblyName=inveigh -
Without .NET 6.0 installed on target system
dotnet publish --self-contained=true -p:PublishSingleFile=true -r linux-x64 -f net8.0 -p:AssemblyName=inveigh
dotnet publish --self-contained=true -p:PublishSingleFile=true -r osx-x64 -f net8.0 -p:AssemblyName=inveigh
Usage
Default parameter values are located at the beginning of Program.cs. I recommend reviewing and setting everything to fit your needs before compile. All enable/disable parameters can be set with Y/N values.
//begin parameters - set defaults as needed before compile
public static string argCert = "MIIKaQIBAzCCC..."
public static string argCertPassword = "password";
public static string argChallenge = "";
public static string argConsole = "5";
public static string argConsoleLimit = "-1";
public static string argConsoleStatus = "0";
public static string argConsoleUnique = "Y";
public static string argDHCPv6 = "N";
public static string argDHCPv6TTL = "30";
public static string argDNS = "Y";
