Why don't you try ARPSpoofing, so you can own all the network telling other
machines that you, from know, are the router. ;-)

Hi

Only a review of my statement in the last post, because I 
think was not enough clear:

"you could try ... exploiting an Internet Explorer flaw..."

change for this:

"If you were doing an internal pen-test trying to own the 
network administrator workstation, you could try to do a DNS 
poisoning or just an arp poisoning attack (take a look on 
ettercap and dsniff) to redirect the http connection of your 
target, for your 'evil' http service with a 0day Internet 
Explorer exploit."

Cheers,

Bruno Cesar M. de Souza

Hi,

For an updated XP machine, whithout additional network services or 
network applications, maybe you will need a 0day exploit - 
an exploit 
for a vulnerability not yet patched by the vendor. 
Sometimes, security 
researches disclose 0day exploits for the public.
Recently, some exploits for Internet Explorer and MS Office 
applications were disclosed before Microsoft could patch 
the holes. If 
you were doing an internal pen-test trying to own the network 
administrator workstation, you could try to do a DNS 
poisoning or just 
an arp poisoning attack (take a look on ettercap and dsniff) to 
redirect the target for your web site, exploiting an 
Internet Explorer 
flaw, for example.

But if you can´t find a known vulnerability for your 
target, you can 
try by yourself discover a security hole and write an exploit.

A suggestion: in the learning of the "pen-test art"
is
better to first understand deeper the common kinds of 
vulnerabilities 
and have the fundamentals, instead of just run exploits downloaded 
from the web.


Best Regards,

I have gone through the eh course and I still do
not
feel like I can really understand how to pen test.

None of the exploits or methods seem to work on a updated xp 
machine.  I set up a vm ware network to practice on.  I 
can not seem 
to make any progress because the information I have is outdated.

Can anyone point me to a resource that would help
me
gain access to an xp machine that is running automatic 
updates (my 
vm).  I cant seem to do it
one
the lan any way other than to use a trojan and
what
would be to point of pen testing a system if the only way 
in is via 
trojan; thats standard
seucrity,
dont run programs from email, blah blah blah...
