# ipmi\_default\_dumphashes

**Explanation**

IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a protocol that enables remote management of servers and other network devices without relying on the device's CPU or Operating System. IPMI is known to have several security weaknesses. One such weakness allows an attacker to dump encrypted hashes of user's passwords, which can then be cracked offline. This NDM detects the specific network traffic pattern created by running the "ipmi\_dumphashes" Metasploit module with the default username list against a host running IPMI.

**What to Look For**

The use of Metasploit modules on your network could be an indicator of compromise. Examine the source IP address and determine if Metasploit is supposed to be running from that host.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fusion.vectra.ai/detection-models/library/post-compromise/ipmi_default_dumphashes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
