In this skill, we're going to be taking a look at MSF Venom.
And that's because as this course unfolds,
we're going to find ourselves using MSF Venom more
apart of the Metasploit framework,
than we will a bunch of other stuff.
Not to say any of the other things are less important.
It's just that we have to create fake files
to trick users into putting on their system
to be able to exploit vulnerabilities found
through our assessments.
And it's also one of the most common practices
of being able to pen test is basically socially engineering
folks to think that something is legitimate
to put on a system that allows us a way to backdoor
into that particular system or network
or cause more havoc amongst the organization
as we're conducting our pen test.
See, not all malicious files have to have a reason.
It could just be that we want to see chaos.
I like chaos.
But in this particular challenge,
we're going to see if we could create a file using
whatever payload that you determine
and be able to package it up and create it
and just have the file ready to go
in case we want to be able to use it later on in this course.
