Using the Opcode Database CLI (msfopcode)
The 3.0 version of the Metasploit Framework comes with a command line
interface to the Metasploit Opcode Database. This can be used instead
of the web-based wizard to easily search for portable opcode
addresses. The interface is provided through the msfopcode command
which is found in the root directory of the installation. This
interface is merely a front-end to a the
Rex::Exploitation::OpcodeDb::Client class interface that interfaces
with a HTTP-based XML protocol running on the Metasploit.com
web-server.
The interface itself provides a simplified interface to some of the
different aspects of the opcode database. When running the command
with no arguments, the following output is shown:
$ ./msfopcode
Usage: msfopcode command
SUPPORTED COMMANDS
stats Display database statistics
locales Display supported locales
metatypes Display supported opcode meta types (Ex: jmp reg)
groups Display supported opcode groups (Ex: esp => eip)
types Display supported opcode types (Ex: jmp esp)
platforms Display supported platforms
modules Display information about specific modules
search Search for opcodes given a set of criteria
The purpose of the stats command is to show the current database
statistics, such as the number of opcodes and modules currently
indexed by the database and the last time the database was updated.
The output to this command looks something like this:
$ ./msfopcode stats
Last Updated : Sat Sep 03 01:32:00 CDT 2005
Number of Opcodes : 12177419
Number of Opcode Types : 320
Number of Platforms : 14
Number of Architectures : 1
Number of Modules : 17683
Number of Module Segments: 71457
Number of Module Imports : 2065492
Number of Module Exports : 927637
The locales command lists the locales that are currently supported by
the database. In the future, more locales will be indexed to provided
a more complete view of opcode portability.
$ ./msfopcode locales
English
French
The metatypes command lists the opcode meta types currently supported
by the database. An opcode meta type is defined as a general
categorization of opcodes based on the action they perform, such as
jumping to a register, performing a pop/pop/ret, and so on. The meta
type helps categorize different specific types of opcodes.
$ ./msfopcode metatypes
pop/pop/ret
jmp reg
call reg
jmp [reg + offset]
call [reg + offset]
popad/ret
popaw/ret
push reg/ret
The groups command lists the opcode groups currently supported by the
database. The distinction between and opcode group and an opcode meta
type is that an opcode group associates opcodes based on the specific
action they perform, such as transitioning the instruction pointer to
the current value of a specific register, like esp.
$ ./msfopcode groups
eax => eip
ebx => eip
ecx => eip
edx => eip
edi => eip
esi => eip
ebp => eip
esp => eip
[esp + 8] => eip
[reg + offset] => eip
[esp + 0x10] => eip
[esp + 0x20] => eip
[reg] => eip
The types command lists all of the various specific opcode types
supported by the database. An opcode type is an instance of a specific
opcode or opcodes that form one logical instruction block, such as a
jmp esp. Opcode types are grouped together through the use of opcode
groups and meta types. A sampling of the output is shown below:
$ ./msfopcode types
jmp esp
call esp
push esp, ret
jmp ebp
call ebp
push ebp, ret
jmp eax
...
The platforms command lists the currently supported operating system
versions broken down by major version and service pack. At this point,
the database supports Windows NT SP3 through Windows 2003 Server SP1.
The database does not take into account hot fixes. Optionally,
platforms can be filtered by specifying the -p option with an argument
that includes a text portion of the operating system name or version
to filter. For instance, specifying -p 2000 will return only Windows
2000 versions.
$ ./msfopcode platforms
Windows NT 4.0.3.0 SP3 (IA32)
Windows NT 4.0.4.0 SP4 (IA32)
Windows NT 4.0.5.0 SP5 (IA32)
Windows NT 4.0.6.0 SP6 (IA32)
Windows 2000 5.0.0.0 SP0 (IA32)
Windows 2000 5.0.1.0 SP1 (IA32)
Windows 2000 5.0.2.0 SP2 (IA32)
Windows 2000 5.0.3.0 SP3 (IA32)
Windows 2000 5.0.4.0 SP4 (IA32)
Windows XP 5.1.0.0 SP0 (IA32)
Windows XP 5.1.1.0 SP1 (IA32)
Windows XP 5.1.2.0 SP2 (IA32)
Windows 2003 Server 5.2.0.0 SP0 (IA32)
Windows 2003 Server 5.2.1.0 SP1 (IA32)
One of the major features of the opcode database is that it indexes
detailed information about modules. For instance, the opcode database
currently contains information about imports, exports, segments, and
specific module attributes for every imported module in the database.
This makes it possible to cross reference different modules and do all
sorts of fun things. To extract information about modules, the modules
command can be used. The usage for this command is shown below:
$ ./msfopcode modules -h
Usage: msfopcode modules
OPTIONS:
-E Include module export information
-I Include module import information
-S Include module segment information
-d Display detailed output
-h Help banner
-l A comma separated list of locales to filter (Ex: English)
-m A comma separated list of module names to filter (Ex: kernel32.dll,use
r32.dll)
-p A comma separated list of operating system names to filter (Ex: 2000,X
P)
-x Dump the raw XML response
The explanation in the usage for each option is fairly self
explanatory, but the basic idea is that it's possible to search the
database for modules with the ability to filter based on file name,
locale, and operating system version. For the results that are
returned, information about the module imports, exports, segments, and
detailed information can be displayed. For example, to see all of the
versions of kernel32.dll currently indexed in the database, the
following command would be run:
$ ./msfopcode modules -m kernel32.dll

The real purpose behind the opcode database, however, is the ability
to search for specific opcodes across different operating system
versions with the ability to cross reference results in order to
determine return address portability. For that reason, the msfopcode
script provides the search command:
$ ./msfopcode search -h
Usage: msfopcode search
OPTIONS:
-M A comma separated list of opcode meta types to filter (Ex: jmp reg)
-P Results must span more than one operating system version
-a A comma separated list of addresses to filter (Ex: 0x41424344)
-g A comma separated list of opcode groups to filter (Ex: esp => eip)
-h Help banner
-l A comma separated list of locales to filter (Ex: English)
-m A comma separated list of module names to filter (Ex: kernel32.dll,user32.dll)
-p A comma separated list of operating system names to filter (Ex: 2000,XP)
-t A semi-colon separated list of opcode types to filter (Ex: jmp esp,call esp)
-x Dump the raw XML response
Like the modules command, the search command provides a way of
limiting the results that come back as a result of the search. In this
case, opcode results can be limited based on meta type, group, type,
operating system, module, locale, and even address. This makes it
possible to get fairly granular results in an intuitive manner.
Furthermore, the server can be instructed to only return results that
are portable in the event that the -P option is specified, although
there are currently some issues with this option being accurate.
To search for all occurrences of a ecx => eip opcode group in
ws2help.dll on Windows 2000 and XP, the following command could be
issued:
$ ./msfopcode search -p 2000,XP -m ws2help.dll -g "ecx => eip"

For custom development purposes, the script can also be told to dump
results in raw XML format such that extensions can be written to the
interface in the future by third parties. This can be accomplished by
specifying the -x parameter.
