nice one steven . For the bruteforce, just remember that our rockyou.txt has been truncated to save space. this would not be feasible in real life, but good hack. As for the others, love the usage of Metasploit modules to escalate. Well done!

    I used hydra instead of nxc, with rdp instead of smb. Anyway, same result.
