CATSploit - An Automated Penetration Testing Tool Using Cyber Attack Techniques Scoring

                 No comments    


CATSploit is an automated penetration testing tool using Cyber Attack Techniques Scoring (CATS) method that can be used without pentester. Currently, pentesters implicitly made the selection of suitable attack techniques for target systems to be attacked. CATSploit uses system configuration information such as OS, open ports, software version collected by scanner and calculates a score value for capture eVc and detectability eVd of each attack techniques for target system. By selecting the highest score values, it is possible to select the most appropriate attack technique for the target system without hack knack(professional pentester’s skill) .

CATSploit automatically performs penetration tests in the following sequence:

  1. Information gathering and prior information input First, gathering information of target systems. CATSploit supports nmap and OpenVAS to gather information of target systems. CATSploit also supports prior information of target systems if you have.

  2. Calculating score value of attack techniques Using information obtained in the previous phase and attack techniques database, evaluation values of capture (eVc) and detectability (eVd) of each attack techniques are calculated. For each target computer, the values of each attack technique are calculated.

  3. Selection of attack techniques by using scores and make attack scenario Select attack techniques and create attack scenarios according to pre-defined policies. For example, for a policy that prioritized hard-to-detect, the attack techniques with the lowest eVd(Detectable Score) will be selected.

  4. Execution of attack scenario CATSploit executes the attack techniques according to attack scenario constructed in the previous phase. CATSploit uses Metasploit as a framework and Metasploit API to execute actual attacks.


Prerequisities

CATSploit has the following prerequisites:

  • Kali Linux 2023.2a

Installation

For Metasploit, Nmap and OpenVAS, it is assumed to be installed with the Kali Distribution.

Installing CATSploit

To install the latest version of CATSploit, please use the following commands:

Cloneing and setup
$ git clone https://github.com/catsploit/catsploit.git
$ cd catsploit
$ git clone https://github.com/catsploit/cats-helper.git
$ sudo ./setup.sh

Editing configuration file

CATSploit is a server-client configuration, and the server reads the configuration JSON file at startup. In config.json, the following fields should be modified for your environment.

  • DBMS
    • dbname: database name created for CATSploit
    • user: username of PostgreSQL
    • password: password of PostgrSQL
    • host: If you are using a database on a remote host, specify the IP address of the host
  • SCENARIO
    • generator.maxscenarios: Maximum number of scenarios to calculate (*)
  • ATTACKPF
    • msfpassword: password of MSFRPCD
    • openvas.user: username of PostgreSQL
    • openvas.password: password of PostgreSQL
    • openvas.maxhosts: Maximum number of hosts to be test at the same time (*)
    • openvas.maxchecks: Maximum number of test items to be test at the same time (*)
  • ATTACKDB
    • attack_db_dir: Path to the folder where AtackSteps are stored

(*) Adjust the number according to the specs of your machine.

Usage

To start the server, execute the following command:

$ python cats_server.py -c [CONFIG_FILE]

Next, prepare another console, start the client program, and initiate a connection to the server.

$ python catsploit.py -s [SOCKET_PATH]

After successfully connecting to the server and initializing it, the session will start.

The client can execute a variety of commands. Each command can be executed with -h option to display the format of its arguments.

usage: [-h] {host,scenario,scan,plan,attack,post,reset,help,exit} ...

positional arguments:
  {host,scenario,scan,plan,attack,post,reset,help,exit}

options:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
