# Vulnerabilities, Exploits, and Remote Access Payloads — lab writeup
My walkthrough and analysis of the Hacktivity Cyber Security Labs sheet
**"Vulnerabilities, Exploits, and Remote Access Payloads"** (Ethical Hacking and
Penetration Testing course, Leeds Beckett University).
It covers how software vulnerabilities lead to arbitrary code execution, the
difference between bind and reverse shells, the Metasploit Framework, and two
real CVEs exploited end to end against deliberately vulnerable training VMs:
| CVE | Target | Vector |
|-----|--------|--------|
| [CVE-2010-1240](analysis/cve-2010-1240-adobe-pdf-embedded-exe.md) | Adobe Reader ·
