Tools: Nmap, Metasploit, Mimikats
#1 Connect

#2 Recon — What can we find out about this machine?
Deploy the machine!
- Once the victim is up and running, launch a scan against the target machine using nmap — ‘namp -sS -A -p- <IP>’
As all ports are being scanned, it might take a few minutes. Once the scan is completed, take note of open ports and other notable information obtained.
- One of the more interesting ports open is Microsoft Remote Desktop (MSRDP). What port is this open on?
