  • Change the script’s local IP and port

[*] Finished. Found 5 vulns :)

Lets try the exploits.

MS15-076:

“local DCOM activation service to elevate privileges” sound promising as we want to escalate.
Reading about the exploit it’s only tested on x64/x86 Windows 7/8.1, this box is Win2012 - lets try it anyway.

  [!] Error reading initial file!

However, reading a file we know exists work:
