VNC Keyboard Remote Code Execution

VNC Keyboard Remote Code Execution
Posted Jul 13, 2015
Authored by xistence | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit module exploits VNC servers by sending virtual keyboard keys and executing a payload. On Windows systems a command prompt is opened and a PowerShell or CMDStager payload is typed and executed. On Unix/Linux systems a xterm terminal is opened and a payload is typed and executed.
