Mastering Kali Linux for Advanced Penetration Testing - Third Edition

Summary

In this chapter, we focused on the fundamentals of exploitation and the different tools that convert findings from reconnaissance into a defined action that establishes the right connection between the tester and the target.

Kali provides several tools to facilitate the development, selection, and activation of exploits, including the internal Exploit-DB as well as several frameworks that simplify the use and management of these exploits. We took a deep dive into the MSF, using Armitage to manage multiple shells, and also learned how to compile different types of files from Exploit-DB into a real exploit.

We also focused on how to develop Windows exploits by identifying different fuzzing techniques. We also loaded the shell code into ...
