Wrapping Up

Although we haven’t uncovered a new vulnerability in this chapter, we have covered the entire process from developing and running a fuzzer to developing a functioning exploit. The exploit that we built in this chapter is complicated and unusual, and it therefore offers an excellent opportunity to think beyond the basics and explore creative avenues to obtain code execution.

One of the best ways to dig deeper into Metasploit is to read through the Metasploit source files and other exploit modules to get a better idea of what is possible within the Metasploit Framework. The techniques in this chapter have given you the basic tools you’ll need to begin discovering vulnerabilities and developing Metasploit exploit modules that will take ...
