The Complete Ethical Hacking Bootcamp: Beginner To Advanced - Exploiting Apache Tomcat with Metasploit

This tutorial demonstrates how to use the Metasploit framework to perform a brute force attack on an Apache Tomcat server. It begins with setting up the Metasploit console and conducting an Nmap scan to identify services. The focus is on using an auxiliary module to brute force the Tomcat server running on port 8080. The tutorial covers configuring options for the attack, executing it, and verifying success by logging into the Tomcat web application manager. The video concludes with a brief overview of future topics, including more advanced exploits.
