Server Hacking - SSH:22
Secure Shell Exploit With Metasploit

Hacking Web Servers - Lecture 2
Course by: Tech Hierarchy

Welcome to Lecture 2 of our course on Hacking Web Servers! In this session, we'll continue our exploration of server hacking by focusing on exploiting SSH servers through port 22 and executing a secure shell exploit using Metasploit.

SSH (Secure Shell) is a cryptographic network protocol used for secure remote login and command execution on a computer network. While SSH is widely used for remote administration and file transfer, it can also be vulnerable to exploitation if not properly configured and secured.

In this lecture, we'll cover the following topics:

1. Understanding SSH Servers: We'll start by providing an overview of SSH servers, how they work, and why they are a valuable target for hackers. You'll learn about the security features of SSH, common vulnerabilities, and the potential impact of exploiting them.

2. Exploiting SSH Servers: We'll explore various techniques for exploiting SSH servers, including brute-force attacks, SSH key-based authentication bypass, and exploiting misconfigurations. You'll learn how to identify vulnerable SSH servers and exploit them to gain unauthorized access.

3. Secure Shell Exploit with Metasploit: We'll delve into using Metasploit to execute a secure shell exploit on compromised SSH servers, allowing for remote access and control. You'll learn how to leverage Metasploit modules to automate the exploitation process and escalate privileges on compromised systems.

4. Mitigating SSH Server Vulnerabilities: Finally, we'll discuss best practices for securing SSH servers and mitigating the risks associated with SSH-based attacks. This includes implementing strong authentication mechanisms, using SSH key-based authentication, and regularly updating and patching SSH server software.

Throughout the lecture, you'll have the opportunity to apply your knowledge in hands-on exercises and practical scenarios, allowing you to gain real-world experience in hacking SSH servers and securing them against cyber threats.

By the end of this lecture, you'll have a solid understanding of the techniques used to exploit SSH servers and execute secure shell exploits using Metasploit. So, let's dive in and continue our exploration of web server hacking together!
