# PLUNGER Framework

Industrial-Grade Exploit Framework for Security Research

WARNING: For EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY. Use only against targets you own or have explicit written authorization to test. Unauthorized access to computer systems is illegal.

Features

  • 39 weaponized exploits for high-impact CVEs (2018–2026).
  • Automated LAN reconnaissance & exploitation (plunge, pl).
  • SSH brute-force with LAN sweep mode (sshbrute).
  • Interactive RCE shell for confirmed exploits.
  • Malicious file generation (malfile) for client-side testing.
  • Multi-format reports (JSON, HTML) with --report-format.
  • Concurrent LAN scanning with --threads.
  • Evasion helpers: sandbox detection, payload markers, command verification.
  • Strict ethics: explicit confirmation per exploit, local-only guard.

Installation

pip install plungerhacker
# or from source
pip install -e .

Quick Start

plunger scan 192.168.1.10          # Port + tech fingerprint
plunger list                        # Show all 39 CVEs
plunger exploit CVE-2022-1388 http://target  # Single exploit
plunger plunge 192.168.1.10         # Full chain on one host
plunger pl all --network 192.168.1.0/24 --threads 8 --report report.html
plunger sshbrute all --network 192.168.1.0/24 --report ssh.json
plunger malfile CVE-2024-38063 --output shell.docx

Commands

Command Description
scan <target> Fast port scan + web tech detection.
list List all available exploits with metadata.
exploit <CVE> <target> [--force] [--cmd CMD] [--shell] [--report FILE] [--report-format json|html] Run single exploit; --shell drops into interactive RCE shell when confidence=confirmed.
plunge <target> [--force] [--first] [--fast] [--report FILE] [--report-format json|html] [--shell] [--threads N] Run ALL applicable exploits against one host (sequential).
pl <target> [--network CIDR] [--skip HOSTS] [--skip-me] [--skip-router] [--first] [--fast] [--force] [--report FILE] [--report-format json|html] [--threads N] LAN sweep: discover hosts, run all exploits per host (host-level parallelism via --threads).
sshbrute <target> [--user USER] [--wordlist FILE] [--threads N] [--timeout N] [--report FILE] [--report-format json|html] Single-target SSH credential brute.
sshbrute all --network CIDR [--skip HOSTS] [--skip-me] [--skip-router] [--threads N] [--timeout N] [--report FILE] LAN-wide SSH brute: discover hosts then brute each in parallel.
malfile <CVE> --output FILE Generate malicious document payloads (e.g., CVE-2024-38063 .docx).

New in 1.1.0

  • 10 new CVE modules: CVE-2023-34362 (MOVEit), CVE-2023-4966 (Citrix Bleed), CVE-2021-21972 (vCenter), CVE-2019-0708 (BlueKeep), CVE-2022-1388 (F5 iControl), CVE-2020-5902 (F5 TMUI), CVE-2023-27997 (Fortinet SSL-VPN), CVE-2021-40539 (ManageEngine), CVE-2022-22965 (Spring4Shell), CVE-2024-3094 (xz backdoor).
  • Base exploit hardening: severity/cvss/confidence fields, _http(), _make_markers(), _extract_bracketed(), _verify_command(), error-page detection.
  • Reporting: HTML reports (--report-format html), JSON sanitization of non-serializable objects.
  • Concurrency: --threads for LAN host-level parallelism (single-target stays sequential for stability).
  • Fixed: list command shadowing builtin list() causing isinstance(x, list) crashes.
  • SSH brute all mode: LAN sweep with CIDR, skip lists, embedded wordlists.

Exploit Confidence Levels

Level Meaning
confirmed Marker-based proof of code execution (e.g., F5 iControl, ManageEngine).
likely Strong fingerprint match (e.g., version banner, endpoint reachable).
unknown Heuristic only (e.g., xz backdoor via SSH banner).

Example: Full LAN Sweep with HTML Report

plunger pl all --network 10.0.0.0/16 \
    --threads 16 \
    --skip-me --skip-router \
    --report lan-report.html \
    --report-format html
