In Chapter 2, Sniffing and Spoofing, we explored custom filters in Ettercap to manipulate traffic on the fly. The possibilities are exciting: redirecting traffic to capture credentials; manipulating POST messages; even the possibility of delivering executables. BetterCAP, however, can do this with its powerful built-in proxy, and we can finely control this functionality with Ruby modules. In this exercise, we're going to prepare a malicious executable for a Windows target and call it setup.exe. We'll then set up a man-in-the-middle proxy attack that will intercept an HTTP request for an installer and invisibly replace the downloaded binary with ours. We'll be covering these concepts and tools in more detail later on in the book, so consider this an introduction to the power of custom modules in advanced man-in-the...

Overview of this book
Windows has always been the go-to platform for users around the globe to perform administration and ad hoc tasks, in settings that range from small offices to global enterprises, and this massive footprint makes securing Windows a unique challenge. This book will enable you to distinguish yourself to your clients.
In this book, you'll learn advanced techniques to attack Windows environments from the indispensable toolkit that is Kali Linux. We'll work through core network hacking concepts and advanced Windows exploitation techniques, such as stack and heap overflows, precision heap spraying, and kernel exploitation, using coding principles that allow you to leverage powerful Python scripts and shellcode.
We'll wrap up with post-exploitation strategies that enable you to go deeper and keep your access. Finally, we'll introduce kernel hacking fundamentals and fuzzing testing, so you can discover vulnerabilities and write custom exploits.
By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed in identifying vulnerabilities within the Windows OS and developing the desired solutions for them.
