Help is always available in SIT182. Please go to Discussions and ask your questions about this task in Task 4.4HD. All students are encouraged to participate and help peers with their questions. Helping others is a great way to learn and think about aspects you may have overlooked. You can also seek help from tutors during online and face-to-face pracs.

However, please note that pracs are primarily aimed for Pass-level tasks and tutors will only aim to provide you with suggestions about the more advanced tasks.

In this task, you move one step further than what you did for Task 4.3D. You are going to use Kali VM and Metasploit to target the Windows 7 VM you were provided in Task 3.1P Hence, you will need to restore Windows 7 VM to the snapshot `ready to infect’ or if you don’t have this snapshot, delete the VM and re-import it to VirtualBox.

Here is a guide for you to refer on and get started: https://resources.infosecinstitute.com/topic/how- to-attack-windows-10-machine-with-metasploit-on-kali-linux/

This guide is for Windows 10 but should help you with setting up a Meterpeter on Windows 7. You do not need to make the executable undetectable. You also don’t need to setup persistent access to the victim (i.e., Windows 7 VM).

This is an HD task, so there is more flexibility for tutors when assessing your skills. If you had a Windows 10 VM or Windows XP that you wanted to exploit (instead of Windows 7), they are also fine.

One of the great merits of students aiming for D and HD is their aptitude to help others – after all, we better learn together and when helping each other. Make sure you participate to Discussions on the unit site and help peers in tasks – especially, Distinction and HD tasks. Your contributions could be claimed as `something awesome’ when submitting your portfolio at the end of the trimester – i.e., includes bonus point.
