Metasploit Penetration Testing Cookbook - Third Edition

Exploiting a Windows Server machine

Leveraging the information collected during information gathering and scanning, we will enter the world of exploits. In this recipe, we will see how we can use Metasploit to break into our Metasploitable 3 target system, which is running Windows Server 2008 R2. We will be using the commands we learned in the previous section, and then move ahead to select exploits and payloads, and set up various required parameters.
