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.

Efficiency and attack organization with Armitage

We shouldn't consider this a true Metasploit discussion without touching on Armitage. Armitage is a graphical frontend environment for Metasploit with a couple of huge advantages:

  • Armitage allows for more efficient working. Many of the tedious aspects of working with a console are reduced, as many tasks can be automated by executing a series of actions with a single click. The user interface environment also makes organization a snap.
  • Armitage runs as a team server on a single machine, making it accessible from other Armitage clients on the network, which turns Metasploit Framework into a fully-fledged red-teaming attack platform. You can even script out your own Cortana-based red team bots. Even a single well-versed individual can become terrifying with Armitage as an interface to Metasploit.
