What problem does it solve?
Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs) running IPMI on port 623 often ship with critical flaws—cipher-zero authentication bypass, crackable RAKP password hashes, anonymous access, and vendor default credentials—yet these out-of-band interfaces are frequently overlooked during network assessments, leaving a path to persistent, OS-independent host control.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Enumeration and Fingerprinting: Sweep 623/UDP with nmap and Metasploit to identify IPMI versions and vendors (Supermicro, Dell iDRAC, HP iLO, IBM IMM, Oracle ILOM).
- Authentication Attack Checks: Test for cipher-zero auth bypass, dump RAKP HMAC hashes for offline cracking with hashcat, and try anonymous or vendor default credentials.
- Post-Access Host Takeover: Use KVM, Serial-over-LAN, and virtual media to reboot hosts into root shells, mount rescue ISOs, or plant persistent backdoor BMC accounts.
- Use Case: During an authorized internal engagement, you discover a Supermicro BMC on 623/UDP; the skill guides you to confirm cipher-zero with ipmitool, reset the root password, and gain KVM access to the host server.
Quick Start
Ask the AI to enumerate and test the IPMI service on a target host at port 623 for cipher-zero bypass, RAKP hash exposure, and default credentials, then produce a structured finding report.
