EternalBlue (MS17-010) turns an SMB-only Windows 7 host into a SYSTEM shell in under a minute. The box is a single-exploit machine, but the methodology around blind command execution and exfiltration via writable shares is worth studying.

A buffer overflow in IIS 6.0's WebDAV handler delivers code execution on Windows Server 2003, and token kidnapping completes the escalation to SYSTEM.

IIS 6.0 with WebDAV enabled permits unauthenticated file upload via PUT and MOVE, bypassing extension restrictions to deploy an ASPX webshell. Token kidnapping (MS09-012) escalates NETWORK SERVICE to SYSTEM on Windows Server 2003.

Adobe ColdFusion 8 on Windows Server 2008 R2 yields unauthenticated RCE through a three-part chain: directory traversal for credential extraction, FCKeditor file upload, and LFI-based CFML code injection. MS10-059 escalates to SYSTEM after JuicyPotato fails in the constrained cfexecute context.

Drupalgeddon 2 delivers unauthenticated RCE on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box with zero hotfixes, then JuicyPotato turns an IIS service account into SYSTEM via COM/DCOM token impersonation.

A null byte injection in Rejetto HFS 2.3 gives unauthenticated RCE, and a Secondary Logon race condition escalates to SYSTEM on an unpatched Windows Server 2012 R2.

Anonymous FTP write access to an IIS web root creates a trivial foothold. The real lesson is in the privilege escalation: unpatched Windows 7 with no service packs is a kernel exploit playground.
