Penetration Tester Lab must complete all tasks on the right side. Applications Places Sat 21:33 CSCI 681: Penetration Tester Challenge Capstone 3 Hr 6 Min Remaining Instructions Resources Help Exploit the Web Server in the DMZ Check My Score Scenario In this exercise, you will use a Kali Linux virtual machine to intrude into a demonstration network to deface a corporate web server. 1. Use the Kali Linux virtual machine to enumerate the network and discover any potential misconfigurations and/or vulnerable information systems. Log into the Kali Linux VM: Username: root Password: toor 2. Based on your vulnerability discovery(ies), exploit the system(s) using the Kali Linux virtual machine. 3. Use a method available to you on the Kali Linux virtual machine to recover any credentials from the compromised system. 4. Use your newly acquired network access to create a pass-through capability (PIVOT) onto other networks of opportunity. 5. Use the built-in functions of Metasploit on the Kali Linux virtual machine to conduct a portscan on the LAN network. Discover any potential misconfigurations and/or vulnerable information systems. 6. Use the previously stolen credentials to access the domain controller. 7. Leverage xfreerdp on the Kali Linux virtual machine to RDP onto the Windows 8 VM. 8. Deface the webpage hosted on the web server by modifying the webpage index.html file. Congratulations, you completed this exercise!
