Revisiting the case study

We were given an IP address of 192.168.188.129 in order to test against known vulnerabilities. We followed a systematic approach, as follows:

1. We created a new workspace using the workspace –a command for our test.
2. We switched to the workspace using the workspace [workspace-name] command.
3. We initialized a no ping Nmap scan against the target and found numerous open ports.
4. The Nmap scan suggested that, on port 445 , an SMB service could be running on Windows 7-Windows 10.
5. We initiated another Nmap scan, but this time, it was meant for only port 445. We did this using the smb-os-discovery script.
6. We found that the results suggested that the operating system that's running was Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate edition.
7. We knew that Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 are highly vulnerable against CVE-2017-0143, that is, the EternalBlue exploit.
8. We initiated another Nmap scan, this time to confirm the presence of the vulnerability...
