In her book, a Windows XP SP3 iso vulnerable to ms_08_067 is needed. Richard feldman reason and argument pdf. I have an XP VM, but looks like this is patched since the exploit does not work. I also tried to check for the vulnerability with nmap, but it does not display any output.

Before starting the PWK course I solved little over a dozen of the Vulnhub VMs, mainly so I don’t need to start from rock bottom on the PWK lab. Below is a list of machines I rooted, most of them are similar to what you’ll be facing in the lab.

I’ve written walkthroughs for a few of them as well, but try harder first;) Linux Beginner friendly • • • • • • • Intermediate • • • • Not so sure (Didn’t solve them yet) • • • • • • Windows There aren’t many Windows machines around due to licensing. Few options: •: Got a nice set of Windows machines from Windows 2000 up to Windows 8.1 I believe. •, will download a trial version of Windows Server. • you can download Windows VMs legally then hack your way through them through an unpatched vulnerability or setting up a vulnerable software.

• Set up your own lab. Default Windows XP SP0 will give you the chance to try out a few remote exploits, or doing some privilege escalation using weak services. • (Uses VulnInjector, need to provide you own ISO and key.) • (Uses VulnInjector, need to provide you own ISO and key.) If you think something is worth to be added to this list please mention it in the comments, I do check them;) - Abatchy.

Recently I bought a gaming computer with some of the best specs out there (i7, gtx670, 16gig ram, ssd, etc) and decided to finally set up my own Pentesting lab so I can practice breaking and securing 'real' boxes of my own. My current setup consists of my router connected to my apartment's WAN using DHCP, which issues private DHCP leases to the connected boxes on my network. I have a Windows 7 laptop of my own, a Windows 7 desktop host machine running VMs, and a Ubuntu 12.10 server for all my main Linux needs (I have SSH set up so I can access this box from work and other places).

My friends also connect to this network via Wifi, so there are random Win7 and OSx computers connected to it. As for my virtualized boxes, I have Windows XP (different SPs), Windows Server 2003, 2008, and 2012, Metasploitable 2, DVL (Damn Vulnerable Linux), BackTrack5R3 (I hack from this box), and a few other exploitable machines. I will be setting up a Windows Vista and a couple other *nix distros to exploit, as well.

I am using, which is provided to me for free through my University and our agreement. For those who do not have access to such great tools, you can use the free version, but be forewarned that certain options may be different. I apologize if there are any problems when following my guides using Player instead of Workstation, but I will do my best to remedy these.

Getting Started. Below is a list of exploitable and vulnerable VMs/ISOs(updated 10/29/12): - Probably the best VM to use. Complete vulnerable VM with services set up for everything. Most of my tutorials will start with exploiting this. Damn Vulnerable Linux 1.5 - Discontinued, but I have the ISO. I will upload it *somewhere* when I'm home. Either directly through this site or on a sharing site (you could torrent, but I want all the download to be able to be directly downloaded).

- LAMP stands for Linux Apache MySQL PHP, and this version is for the security testing of those. - Self Explanatory; OWASP's Broken Web App Project! Below is a list of VMs and ISOs that you can configure yourself: - Scroll down for the download link; a complete LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) distro. Below is a list of VMs and ISOs to hack from: - I use the Gnome 32bit VM one and just load it into my VMWare; all of my tutorials will be from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, or BT5R3 (which is Ubuntu, as well). BackTrack has been replaced by the following: - Another Ubuntu based Pentesting distro - Yet another Ubuntu based Pentesting distro Creating Your Pentesting Network. Now that we have a host machine with a virtual machine application (I suggest VMWare), it's time to set up your network so you can see all your exploitable (and maybe non exploitable) VMs! For the machines that are already built for VM usage (aka they're VMDK and not ISO), just double click the.VMX file which is the configuration file for the virtual machine, and it will automatically open with the configured VM software.
