Metasploit Framework: An Attack Scenario

Navninder Singh

Abstract


This research paper presents an attack on a Windows XP machine using the Metasploit framework. The paper presents that there are ways to take over a system without even touching it or alerting a user. Various tools could learn to use in a couple of hours. The take away is that all of this could have been avoided entirely if the victim was running the latest patches on its operating system and software.
