IBM Lotus Domino LDAP Bind Request Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

I am quite interested in Lotus Domino security, I think it makes an interesting platform for attacking for several reasons. It is a fully packed solution for enterprises (email, collaboration platform and custom application platform) and I don't believe the product has even really been scrutinized from a security pespective.

A remote code execution exploit is now available for the LDAP service, which is enabled by default :s The source of an exploit can be found here.

BeEF v.0.4.2.2-alpha Released

BeEF, the Browser Exploitation Framework is a professional security tool provided for lawful research and testing purposes. It allows the experienced penetration tester or system administrator additional attack vectors when assessing the posture of a target. The user of BeEF will control which browser will launch which command module and at which target.

BeEF hooks one or more web browsers as beachheads for the launching of directed command modules in real-time. Each browser is likely to be within a different security context. This provides additional vectors that can be exploited by security professionals.
BeEF provides a professional and simple user interface. It is easy to deploy and is implemented in Ruby so it will run on most Operating Systems. The framework contains various command modules which employ BeEF's simple API. This API facilitates quick development of custom modules by the user.
