hi all, 

we are teaching pentesting too, and we use:

Solution a:
1- webgoat (you can use the one in www.damnvulnerablelinux.org)
2- metasploit

Solution b:
We also use w3af, that comes with a lot of .php files (all what it can test) 
for apache, so you can test your w3af installation. This includes buffer 
overflows, sql injection and the like.

Solution c:
1- Old iis in an old win2k
2- metasploit

cheers

Dear Trajce,
My suggestion is ...
Download some old softwares with bugs.
https://www.securinfos.info/old_softwares_vulnerable.php

then use metasploit to exploit it.
Also there is a nice intro tutorial here showing how to write a
exploit with metasploit framework.

All the best,

Hi,

Our goal is to teach master students in computer security in pen testing
remote servers.

As an exercise we want to introduce a vulnerability in IIS or Apache (or
any other place you might suggest)which is recognizable with current
vulnerability scanners(ex.nessus), but requires some coding/payload
generation to exploit the vulnerability.

I am considering bugtracq, but there are many vulnerabilities there
which i can not filter with the requirements above.

Can you point me to any "good" vulnerability for this purpose?



Regards,
Trajce
