Hacking a Remote Web Server with
Metasploit and Backtrack
Beware of insecure web servers! This video starts by using the well known MS08-067 vulnerability to gain initial access into a web server that is discovered via an NMAP network scan. Using the Meterpreter Reverse_TCP payload, a new "index.html" file is updated to the server. In addition, deeper penetration occurs by extracting the MySQL and XAMPP application passwords.
