Can someone teach me about exploits?

[Rob5454]

i know this might sound pretty noobish to some of you professionals, but what is the best way to determine what exploits will work on a victim machine. i know nmap is good for finding ports but what is the method everyone uses to know what exploit to choose that will comply. i am running boxs with win xp sp2 and sp3 and my host with bt4 final.

Dont forget the "check" command in metasploit which is available for some exploits ...
