Objectives: This workshop explored the exploitation of network vulnerabilities using tools such as Metasploit Framework. Participants learned how to identify open ports, exploit specific services like FTP, SSH, and VNC, and understand brute-force and dictionary attacks. The session emphasized practical demonstrations, including remote access and privilege escalation.
The Key Takeaways and Final Points:
- Identifying Targets and Vulnerabilities: Demonstrated network scanning using nmap and vulnerability detection techniques to identify exploitable open ports and services.
- Exploitation Techniques: Showcased exploiting FTP, SSH, and VNC vulnerabilities for remote access, leveraging tools like Metasploit and custom scripts.
- Hands-on Practice: Emphasized the importance of hands-on practice with tools and lab environments like Metasploitable to refine skills and explore additional vulnerabilities.
