In this section, we're going to get to know the extremely powerful tool kit, Métis Boit metastable
is more than just a set of tools.
It is a complete framework for taking over another computer or for systems vulnerability testing.
You can see I'm running a pretty recent version here and it has a little ninja as the symbol.
You'll see lots of different things when you start up medicine, but they change this keyboard all the
time.
But you can see over sixteen hundred exploits.
It'll easily be two thousand within just a few months.
951 auxiliary or helper scripts 293 posta exploit 486 different payloads.
That means things that we can upload to a victim machine that includes Windows desktops, Mac OS, Android
devices.
We'll see how to do an Android hack as well.
We are going to start out by using metabolite in this section to hack into a Windows seven box.
And we'll be able to get administrator level privileges, we'll root a Windows seven computer, we will
get full administrator access to a Windows seven computer, our Windows seven VM from our media sport
console using some really cool tools like an interpreter so that we can run commands remotely, even
download files from our other operating system.
First, let's take a really quick look at what Métis Point is as a framework.
It really is a free penetration testing tool.
It comes from Rapid seven there, the the developers that made point available, but it's maintained
by a tremendous community of both ethical hackers and other security researchers.
There's a huge database of exploits like we saw almost 2000 exploits out there right now that you can
test on real machines in your network as an ethical hacker, if you have full written permission to
do so, you can always use these on your own home computer as long as your own, you're on your own
network.
Just as a quick note here, you can see there is a fully featured professional version of meta sport.
But everything that you need to test your computer, to test your network, to test your business and
your families and friends, computers, with their permission, is included in the meta split community
edition.
That's the free one that comes with Calli Linux.
And the second thing I want to go over with you is why we're going to hack a Windows seven computer.
I mean, we've gone past Windows eight, Windows 10.
Why are we going to start with the Windows seven computer?
The answer is pretty simple.
There are more Windows seven computers out there still than any other operating system.
This graph is showing information from this year.
This is actual desktop installations.
Windows seven as of July of twenty seventeen is still forty eight point six percent of all the installs
out there on all the desktops that are reporting on the Web.
According to market share, Windows 10, only about a quarter of desktops are running that about 25
percent.
Notice that we've still got about seven or eight percent Windows XP and a handful of Windows eight.
And then we've got our Mac and Linux distributions down through here.
So why are we starting with Windows seven?
Simple.
It's still the most common desktop operating system out there.
And as you can see, it's going to be around for quite a long time.
So let's fire up our Métis boyte and get a few things configured so that we'll be able to hack into
our Windows seven box and take over administrative level privileges from our Khaleel Linux running Métis
Boyte.
But first, we're going to do a little bit of setup, a virtual box to make it easier to copy and paste
things between our virtual machines.
We'll see how to do that in the next lesson.
