Day 057 to 060 #FromZeroToHacker – Linux privilege escalation

There are no one solution for all the scenarios when dealing with Linux privilege escalation: It depends on the configuration of the target .

Meterpreter is a Metasploit payload that supports the penetration testing process, as we use it to interact with the target OS.

Today we are going to learn how to use Metasploit for vulnerability scanning and exploitation.

Metasploit is the most widely used exploitation framework that supports all phases of a penetration testing engagement.

Time to apply what we have learnt in the last two lessons with a practical lesson on Vulnerability Capstone.

There are many types of vulnerabilities: Let’s learn about how we can identify them and how we can exploit these vulnerabilities.

Time to familiarise ourselves with the skills, research methods and resources to exploit vulnerabilities in applications and systems.

Before starting to pentest, we need to learn the ethical implications and methodologies we can apply to them.

Before starting to pentest, we need to learn the ethical implications and methodologies we can apply to them.

Time to put into practice all the skills we have learnt during this Network Security module. We will use nmap, telnet and hydra.
