Description
This module identifies the version of IMAP in use by the server, as well as some of the login options. Any IMAP sever should return this information.
Vulnerable Application
Install Dovecot on Kali Linux:
With this install, we'll only install IMAP for dovecot, as the other protocols are not required. However, this is unrealistic in a production environment.
sudo apt-get install dovecot-imapd
/etc/init.d/dovecot start
Verification Steps
Do: use auxiliary/scanner/imap/imap_version
Do: set rhosts [ips]
Do: run
Options
IMAPPASS
A password for an IMAP account.
IMAPUSER
A username for an IMAP account.
