HikvisionExploiter

HikvisionExploiter is a powerful and automated exploitation toolkit targeting unauthenticated endpoints on Hikvision IP cameras, particularly those running firmware version 3.1.3.150324.

It performs:

• Snapshot access verification
• Config file retrieval and decryption
• User credential extraction
• Remote command execution using CVE-2021-36260
• Multithreaded target scanning with colored, timestamped logs

Built for researchers, red teamers, and IoT security enthusiasts.

✅ Features

• 🔓 Directory Check: Verifies /onvif-http/snapshot endpoint for snapshot exposure
• 📸 Snapshot Retrieval: Downloads snapshots and stores them in timestamped folders
• 🛰️ Device Info Dump: Parses device model, serial, firmware, and build data
• 👥 User Info Dump: Extracts usernames and privilege levels from XML
• 🔐 Config Decryption: Downloads encrypted /System/configurationFile, decrypts using AES + XOR, and extracts credentials
• 💣 CVE-2021-36260 Detection:
  • Header bypass check on /Security/users
  • PUT-to-file RCE check via webLanguage injection
• 🖥️ Remote Shell Support: Built-in Bash shell for remote command execution
• 📁 Organized Logs: Creates structured logs per IP:port in logs/
• ⚡ Mass Scanning: Supports thousands of targets using ThreadPoolExecutor
• 🎨 Colorized Output: Easily distinguishable results with ANSI colors

🧰 Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• ffmpeg (optional, for future snapshot-to-video capability)
• pycrypto (for config decryption):
  root@kitploit:~

  pip install pycrypto
  

📥 Installation

git clone https://github.com/HexBuddy/HikvisionExploiter.git
cd HikvisionExploiter
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

🚀 Usage

1. Prepare Targets

Create a targets.txt file with the following format:

IP:PORT

Example:

192.168.1.10:80
10.10.10.20:81

2. Run the Scanner

python3 checker.py

This will:

• Check for snapshot access
• Download and parse device/user info
• Attempt config file decryption
• Test for RCE via CVE-2021-36260
• Save all logs under logs/IP_PORT_TIMESTAMP/

🐚 Shell Access

To interactively run commands on a vulnerable device:

chmod +x shell.sh
./shell.sh <ip:port>

Example:

./shell.sh 192.168.1.10:80

If vulnerable, you'll enter an interactive shell:

hikvision-shell> uname -a
Linux hik-cam 3.0.8 #1 Wed Mar 18 ...

🔎 Finding Targets

Use the following Shodan dork to locate exposed Hikvision cameras:

3.1.3.150324

📄 Nuclei Template

A Nuclei-compatible template is included: nuclei-template.yaml

Usage:

nuclei -t nuclei-template.yaml -list targets.txt

Detects:

• Open snapshot feed
• Exposed config download
• Leaked user info via XML
