Greetings.

I'm doing an academic work where I have to find vulnerabilities in CentOS and show how to take advantage of those same vulnerabilities.

I'm no hacker and I'm finding this task to be of great difficulty, that is, I see all the security alerts and their descriptions but no explanation of how to take advantage.

Maybe I'm being a little naive but all I want to know is if there is any tool I can use to show that CentOS 5.0 vulnerability XPTO exists and to show it "working".

If possible something like CVE-2007-0001 exploit tool, CVE-2007-0002 payload and so on.

Thanks.

Is my dns server being attacked? And what should I do about it?

At the same time, queries to opendns for those hostnames resolve correctly. It's intermittent, and it always works fine for me, so it's hard… >>> More

Has anyone run an objective comparison of Nessus and Skipfish

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
We recently set up Nessus, but the annual cost is not cheap. Recently Google published SkipFish which appears to compete in the area of webapps. As best I can tell, Nessus operates via a large database of known exploits. And, as best as I can tell, Skipfish automatically generates vulnerability… >>> More
