• Looking for some software to exploit?

    26 Jan 2009

    If you’re learning the ins and outs of Metasploit (one of the most underrated and underused tools in our field) but don’t have the software to exploit in a test environment, check out www.securinfos.info/old-softwares-vulnerable.php. Also don’t forget about any old copies of Windows, etc. CDs you have lying around….Just load them up on a test machine, VMWare image, or similar and off you go. I can’t imagine a more cost-effective and hands-on way to get some seat time in this area.

    Also, to get you up to speed quickly I’ve written a few articles about Metasploit for your perusal:
