Tutorial: Hacking with Metasploit & Whax 3.0 (Bootable Linux CD)
ethicalhacker.net — How hard is it to really compromise a system? As an ethical hacking instructor, I get asked frequently. Simple answer - try hacking a lab system. There is real value in understanding what it really takes to defeat common security. This can't be duplicated from listening to industry experts or simply reading books. You must try it for yourself.

- Duston, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Measploit is a nice tool.
- Googled, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1great give the script kiddies something to play with

Eliza says: "Whould you like to elaborate on that?" - jgee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0heh, sorry should have arrowed to "^" googled. I hate being labled, but yeah it is true sometimes...like in this case.
- mogebier, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I am sure that the Geeks that have nothing better to do than make people's lives miserable by hacking with have fun with this.
- dbpigeon, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0It was a good informational article, but I would never actually do this. I don't find it funny to screw over people whenever you feel like it.
- Duston, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't quite understand why people are going off on how this will unleash a avalanche of script kiddie attacks. The tools have been available for some time with online "how to"'s If someone was so inclined Google will provide many "hacks in a can".
I guess my point is if you are doing pen testing in house or for consulting Metasploit is nice. Whopix is handy too for a quick demo on a client's site. - Torontonian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The ethicalhacker is a pretty terrible site for any kind of security information. Metasploit, in itself a script-kiddie tool, has been out for years and has been covered to death by pretty much everyone.
- haochi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Don't want to hack, don't want to be hack.
- chezzman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0interesting article.
- phlud, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0meh, nothing new. better sh*t out there.
- sgtpinky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0When I was 16 my mate and I hacked the local library's internet computer by writing a VB 3.0 app that mimicked their security system. ROFL. Their password was 'xyz123', hehe. Them were the days...
- Chaos12, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Art of Intrusion" by Kevin Mitnick, good read for anyone interested in some great hacking stories.
- el_jefe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"1. Pick which exploit to use
2. Configure the exploit with remote IP address and remote port number
3. Pick a payload
4. Configure the payload with local IP address and local port number
5. Execute the exploit"
Thats not hacking. Anyone using that would be defined as a "script kiddie". That takes absolute no knoweldge of anything, except how to use a keyboard. - umdebaba, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@el_jefe
Because we all know hacking is limited to complex intrusion of systems...
Pen testers who use tools for audits to save time are merely script kiddies as well right.... - CanuckPlumber, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Read it and this is all I heard, wa wa-wa wa waa wwa wa-wa...
- stoops, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yea, I have to admit hacking is becoming more and more of a script kiddy thing, with their one button click/enter a few commands abilities.

I'm pretty familiar with DOS and windows, but never used linux or hacking tools, and I was still slightly confused. It might make more sense if I actually followed the steps, but there was a lot of crap it told you to do before you actually hacked in...I'd rather stick with the even simpler ones...especially if they work in windows... - battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Text is too ***** small on this idiots website.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"...I'm pretty familiar with DOS and windows, but never used linux or hacking tools,..."
by saying linux and hacking tools in the same side of a congruity, you may have well caused yet another diatribe to start. LET THE DEFINERS COME FORTH! - skunkman62, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0battybattybatt - "Text is too ***** small on this idiots website."
ditto - olfhq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If you can't figure out how to make the text bigger on that website, then who is the idiot?
- ShaDoWwork, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0^^^^^^^^^now thats funny
- stoops, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0^^^^^^^^^now thats funny
- StevenP9891, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0^^^^^^^^^^^now thats funny
