Penetration Testing Exploitation of Windows 8

Abstract

Abstract
A penetration test is way to find out on an operating system with the expectation of discovering
security weaknesses and exploiting target OS. The Aim of this testing is to find all security
vulnerabilities without any type of actually harming the computer system. In this research paper, we
examine the some phases of penetration testing on the target system. We are using some tools and
techniques to penetrate the target system by using Nmap, Metasploit and Meterpreter. We will perform
some command on target OS like listing all document in current directory, checking the path of directory
and uploading a file on the target OS through LINUX commands. In this, we are using penetration
testing tool to assault on particular OS and to scan and also exploiting target OS. In this research paper,
we will work only on exploitations of our target operating system with Windows 8 x64 bit.
