Gang: I was wondering if anyone has a nice archive of Windows, Unix, etc. exploits (fully functional) they'd be willing to share. I'm about to do the first pen-test of our network. I know that I can identify "potential" flaws using Nessus, but my boss has asked that I prove to him each and every "potential" weakness. I've been told that you can find many exploits out on the web, but it's been such a hassle trying to find all of what I'm looking for! Also, I've been reading the discussion about methodology some people have been having: 1.) Vulnerability Assessment 2.) Penetration Test -Gather data -Pretend not to know data -Assess potential weakness -Try to Hack into the network -Determine what current patch levels are -Report successes or failures (does someone have this data?) -Recommend all necessary corrections Does anyone have a more complete methodology paper? I've been hearing some of the pros and cons of the above two. Do you normally do both, or just whatever people what? I assume the first is more difficult and time consuming; is that true? The approach is certainly important, but even more intimidating: I feel like I need to know everything about varying brands of firewalls, routers, switches/hubs, VLANs, VPNs, Web Applications, Windows, Unix, Netware, etc., etc., etc.! I'm pretty experienced in Unix and Firewalls, but does anyone have any advise on dealing with the shear magnitude of data necessary? Also, from the more practical tools stand point, do you guys just have everything loaded on one "attack" laptop. Dual boot, or VmWare? Thanks so much!
