Ethical Hacking - Exploitation
Exploitation is a piece of programmed software or script which can allow hackers to take control over a system, exploiting its vulnerabilities. Hackers normally use vulnerability scanners like Nessus, Nexpose, OpenVAS, etc. to find these vulnerabilities.
Metasploit is a powerful tool to locate vulnerabilities in a system.
Vulnerabilities generally arise due to missing updates, so it is recommended that you update your system on a regular basis, for example, once a week.
In Windows environment, you can activate automatic updates by using the options available in the Control Panel → System and Security → Windows Updates.
In Linux Centos, you can use the following command to install automatic update package.
yum -y install yum-cron
