Steven,

Don't get too discouraged.

As far as using the metasploit module for this, have you tried different
payloads?
Have you validated the operating system you are attacking?

As for other avenues -
 
What other services are running on the box?
Have you tried enumerating users on the machine?
Have you tried brute forcing logins with hydra?
Have you checked to see what udp services are running?
Did you look at all the ports on the box or did you run nmap <target>
with the default port options?

Are you getting any errors on ./slashing with metasploit?
Have you tried sniffing the connection for your exploit to see if
anything comes back?
Do you firewall rules setup on your attacking machine?

Just thought I'd throw out questions for you. We all get stuck from time
to time and sometimes an outside party asking questions can re-jog your
memory or help you troubleshoot.

Hello all,

This is the first time sending to the list I would like to know some way
to pen-test a sftp server I have setup on our network. I have tried nmap
for open ports and I have tried metasploit for buffer overflows that I
found on Google. Are there any programs or tricks I should know to try
and break into this. I am basically proving the security of the
application for production use.
Thank you for any advise you can give me.

Steven
