Summary and exercises
Throughout this chapter, we saw how we could test MySQL databases. To practice your skills, you can perform the following further exercises at your own pace:
- Try testing MSSQL and PostgreSQL databases and make a note of the modules.
- Try to run system commands for MSSQL.
- Resolve error 13 on MySQL for writing files onto the server.
- The database testing covered in this chapter was performed on Metasploitable 2. Try setting up the same environment locally and repeat the exercise.
In the last five chapters, we covered a variety of modules, exploits, and services, which took a good amount of time. Let's look at how we can speed up the process of testing with Metasploit in Chapter 6, Fast-Paced Exploitation with Metasploit.
