## ๐ Project Overview
This project explores one of the most critical vulnerabilities in cybersecurity โ
the **EternalBlue exploit**, which targets the outdated **SMBv1 protocol** in
Windows operating systems (especially Windows 7).
It demonstrates how the vulnerability works, simulates the attack in a virtual
environment, and provides protection and mitigation measures against such
exploits.
