Procedures and checks to enumerate and exploit rsync daemon modules (port 873), detect unauthenticated shares, brute-force auth, and safely verify read/write ex
This skill provides a practical, operator-focused guide for testing rsync daemon services (rsync://) typically on port 873. It explains how to detect and enumerate rsync modules, confirm authentication requirements, and verify read or write access. The guidance covers banner inspection, nmap NSE usage, native rsync client commands, and common exploitation patterns such as recursive download of exposed backups and planting authorized_keys when write access is available. The content is written for authorized security assessments and emphasizes confirmation steps and practical remediation recommendations.
Use this skill during network services penetration tests, vulnerability assessments of NAS devices, or when nmap/banners indicate an active rsync daemon. It’s appropriate for: initial reconnaissance to enumerate modules; triage to determine auth requirements; exploitation verification when write/read access is suspected; and post-access pivoting to search for rsyncd.conf/secrets.
Best used by agents or operators with shell access and network scanning tools (nmap, hydra, rsync client, nc, Metasploit).
Pentesting skill for rsync daemon enumeration and exploitation (port 873). No bundled scripts — purely instructional. Well-structured SKILL.md with clear workflow, concrete command examples, and a useful output format template. Security concerns include detailed exploitation guidance (authorized_keys planting, web shell upload, brute force) though framed for authorized engagements. Legitimate dual-use security research content with specific audience.
Pentesting/reference skill with no scripts. Instructions for exploitation are standard for authorized penetration testing but could be misused. Framed appropriately for authorized engagements. No hardcoded creds, no phone-home, no destructive commands without context.
