Summary

Architecture and Background

Copy of the slides for this talk are here: Post-Exploitation Nirvana: Launching OpenDLP Agents over Meterpreter Sessions R&D Andrew Gavin Security Consultant, Verizon Business Michael Baucom Vice President of R&D, N2 Net Security Inc. Charles Smith Software Developer, N2 Net Security Inc. OpenDLP is a free and open source agent-based data discovery tool that works against Microsoft Windows systems using appropriate authentication credentials.

Vulnerability Analysis

However, one drawback to OpenDLP is that its policy-driven approach makes it arduous to scan disjointed systems that are not part of a Windows domain or do not share the same authentication credentials. To fix this, OpenDLP can now launch its agents over Meterpreter sessions using Metasploit RPC without requiring domain credentials. Andrew Gavin, creator of OpenDLP, is an information security consultant at Verizon Business.
