This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/misc/windows_rsh.rb) that exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Windows RSH daemon version 1.8 (CVE-2007-4006). The exploit targets Windows 2003 SP1, Windows XP Pro SP2, and Windows 2000 Pro SP4 (all English versions) running the vulnerable RSH daemon. The module connects to the RSH service over TCP port 514 and sends a specially crafted payload to trigger the buffer overflow, allowing execution of arbitrary code with privileged access. The payload is customizable and encoded to avoid bad characters, with a maximum size of 850 bytes. The exploit is operational and part of the Metasploit framework, making it easy to use and adapt. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the TCP port 514, which is the standard port for RSH services.
