Penetration Testing: Exploit Synthesis

We craft exploits with surgical precision. Metasploit automates T1059—e.g., msf> use exploit/windows/smb/ms17_010_eternalblue; set PAYLOAD bind_tcp. Web vectors leverage Burp Suite, fuzzing POST params with exec("rm -rf /") for LFI (T1190). Binaries face AFL++, seeding inputs to trigger SIGSEGV via unbounded strncat. ROP gadgets bypass NX—e.g., pop rax; ret pivots to syscall. Consult maps attack surface; paid ops deliver full chains, mitigations like CFI enforcement via Clang.
