🧠 Exploit Workflow Guide

This document outlines the end-to-end workflow for developing, validating, and deploying exploits in the openfire-exploit-suite.

🧰 Tech Stack

• Ruby 3.1.7 via RVM — for Metasploit modules
• Java 17 (via IntelliJ IDEA) — for BurpSuite extensions
• Shell scripting — for recon automation and headless tasks
• GitHub Actions — for CI/CD and GitHub Pages publishing

📌 Target: Openfire 4.x

• CVE exploited: Specify your CVE here once confirmed
• Exploit type: Authenticated/unauthenticated RCE (TBD)
• Payload vector: HTTP + custom Java classes or MSF payloads

🧪 Validation Checklist

• Confirm vulnerable version
• Verify network exposure (port 9090 default)
• Confirm payload execution
• Ensure exploit does not brick the system

🚀 Deployment

Final reporting and demonstration steps:

• Capture proof-of-exploit (terminal or browser screenshot)
• Save exploit-output.md into docs/
• Push to GitHub → CI deploys updated report to Pages
