Identifies and exploits SMB protocol vulnerabilities using Metasploit Framework during authorized penetration tests to demonstrate risks from unpatched Windows systems, misconfigured shares, and weak authentication in enterprise networks.
Testing the Docker Engine remote API (default 2375/TCP plaintext, 2376/TCP TLS) for unauthenticated access leading to instant host takeover by mounting the host filesystem into a privileged container, plus secret/credential extraction and container-escape…
Testing FTP services (default port 21, plus FileZilla admin 14147) for anonymous access, default/weak credentials, FTP bounce port scanning and protocol relay, writable webroot uploads, and dangerous vsFTPd/ProFTPD configuration during authorized engagements.
Testing IPMI / BMC out-of-band management interfaces (default 623/UDP, sometimes TCP) for the cipher-zero authentication bypass, RAKP password-hash retrieval, anonymous/default BMC credentials, cleartext password storage, and host takeover via KVM/SOL during…
Testing the Microsoft RPC (MSRPC / DCE-RPC) endpoint mapper and exposed RPC interfaces during authorized engagements. The endpoint mapper listens on TCP/UDP 135 (also reachable over SMB named pipes on 139/445 and HTTP on 593). Covers endpoint enumeration with…
Testing VNC remote desktop services using the Remote Frame Buffer (RFB) protocol during authorized engagements. VNC commonly listens on 5900/5901 (and web clients on 5800/5801). Covers RFB fingerprinting, no-auth / RealVNC auth-bypass detection with nmap NSE…
Testing the X Window System (X11) display server during authorized engagements. X11 listens on TCP 6000+<display> and the local Unix socket /tmp/.X11-unix/X<display>. Covers detecting unauthenticated ("xhost +") access with nmap NSE and Metasploit, abusing…
Execute an internal network penetration test simulating an insider threat or post-breach attacker to identify lateral movement paths, privilege escalation vectors, and sensitive data exposure within the corporate network.
