Metasploit Revealed: Secrets of the Expert Pentester

Summary

Covering the brainstorming exercises of porting exploits, we have now developed approaches to port various kinds of exploits in Metasploit. After going through this chapter, we have learned how we can port exploits of different kinds into the framework with ease. In this chapter, we have developed mechanisms to figure out the essentials from a standalone exploit. We saw various HTTP functions and their use in exploitation. We have also refreshed our knowledge of SEH-based exploits and how exploit servers are built.

So, by now, we have covered most of the exploit writing exercises. From the next chapter, we will see how we can leverage Metasploit to carry out penetration testing on various services, including VOIP, DBMS, SCADA, and ...
