Exploitation with Armitage


After the Attack menu becomes available to a host, we are all set to exploit the target. Let's target the commonly exploited port 445, which runs the microsoft-ds service by browsing to the ms08_067_netapi exploit from the Attack menu. Clicking on the Exploit option will present a new pop up that displays all the settings. Let's set all the required options as follows:

After setting all the options, click on Launch to run the exploit module against the target. We will be able to see exploitation being carried out on the target in the third pane of the interface, after we launch the exploit module, as shown in the following screenshot:

We can see the meterpreter launching, which denotes the successful exploitation of the target. In addition, the icon of the target host changes to reddish color that denotes possession of this host.
