Bruno,

Tried to get application versions of these services and see if they have
any security flaws reported in the past.
Use "nc" or "telnet" to service, grab banners. SMTP maybe can list users,
port 80 could have
a web server with cgi or some application running bugs, run nikto or others
CGI scanners.
Maybe you can upload some code into the web server. Be creative.
Maybe 110 pop3 can give you some info about users, perhaps you can brute
force some accounts there, etc...

Hi,

Im pen-testing a linux system and I could port-scan the following open tcp
ports:

21
25
53
59
80
110
119
143
443

Strangely, there is this 59 port open. I googled it and it seems to be a
mIRC DCC Server.
Didnt help too much.

I know port 80 and 443 are running Apache 2.0.40 and there are a few bugs
about it,
but nothing really scaring. I cant grab other apps version even with amap.

As I dont have local access, I get frustrated cause the only thing I can
think is exploiting some app remotely.

Any suggestions ? I need at least a shell.
I´ve looked Metasploit exploits but the are no one appropriate.
