In order to use the Metasploitable VM for exploit testing in Kali Linux, you must first download and install the Metasploitable VM. To do this, you will need to download the Metasploitable VM from the SourceForge website. Once you have downloaded the Metasploitable VM, you will need to extract the files and then install the Metasploitable VM on your computer. To install the Metasploitable VM, you will need to open a terminal window and type the following command:
$ tar -xvf Metasploitable-2.0.0.tar.gz
This will extract the files from the Metasploitable VM and create a new directory called “Metasploitable-2.0.0”. You can then navigate to this directory and run the “install.sh” script to install the Metasploitable VM. Once the installation is complete, you will be ready to configure the network settings and start the Metasploitable VM.
Kali Linux is a Debian-based Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and penetration testing. It is the most popular operating system for ethical hacking and penetration testing. To use the Metasploitable VM for exploit testing in Kali Linux, you need to download and install Kali Linux on your computer. To do this, you can download the latest version of Kali Linux from the Kali Linux website. Once you have downloaded the ISO file, you can use a tool like Etcher to burn the ISO file to a USB drive or DVD. Once you have burned the ISO file, you can boot your computer from the USB drive or DVD and install Kali Linux. During the installation process, you will be asked to select a language, keyboard layout, and timezone. Once you have selected these options, you can proceed with the installation process. After the installation is complete, you can reboot your computer and start using Kali Linux.
In order to use the Metasploitable VM for exploit testing in Kali Linux, you must first configure the network settings. To do this, open the VirtualBox Manager and select the Metasploitable VM. Then, click on the "Network" tab and select "Bridged Adapter" from the "Attached to" drop-down menu. This will allow the Metasploitable VM to communicate with the host machine. Next, click on the "Advanced" tab and select "Promiscuous Mode" from the "Promiscuous Mode" drop-down menu. This will allow the Metasploitable VM to receive all network traffic from the host machine. Finally, click on the "OK" button to save the changes.
Once the network settings have been configured, you can start the Metasploitable VM. To do this, open the VirtualBox Manager and select the Metasploitable VM. Then, click on the "Start" button to start the VM. Once the VM has started, you can then start Kali Linux. To do this, open the VirtualBox Manager and select the Kali Linux VM. Then, click on the "Start" button to start the VM.
Once both the Metasploitable VM and Kali Linux VM have been started, you can begin exploit testing. To do this, open a terminal window in Kali Linux and use the nmap
command to scan the Metasploitable VM for open ports. Once the scan is complete, you can then use the searchsploit
command to search for exploits that can be used to exploit the open ports. Finally, you can use the msfconsole
command to launch the Metasploit Framework and begin exploit testing.
In this step, we will start the Metasploitable VM. To do this, open the VirtualBox application and select the Metasploitable VM from the list of virtual machines. Then, click on the "Start" button to launch the VM. Once the VM is running, you will be able to access the Metasploitable operating system.
To start the Metasploitable VM, open the VirtualBox application and select the Metasploitable VM from the list of virtual machines. Then, click on the "Start" button to launch the VM. Once the VM is running, you will be able to access the Metasploitable operating system.
$ VBoxManage startvm Metasploitable
You can also start the Metasploitable VM from the command line using the VBoxManage
command. To do this, open a terminal window and type the following command:
Once the Metasploitable VM is running, you can access the Metasploitable operating system by connecting to it via SSH. To do this, open a terminal window and type the following command:
$ ssh root@[IP_ADDRESS]
Replace [IP_ADDRESS]
with the IP address of the Metasploitable VM. You can find the IP address of the Metasploitable VM by running the ifconfig
command in the Metasploitable VM.
Now that the Metasploitable VM is running, you can start exploit testing in Kali Linux. To do this, you will need to download and install Kali Linux, configure the network settings, and start Kali Linux.
Kali Linux is a Debian-based Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and penetration testing. It is the most popular Linux distribution for ethical hacking and penetration testing. To start Kali Linux, you need to download and install it on your computer. Once installed, you can boot up the system and start exploring the various tools and features available in Kali Linux.
To start Kali Linux, you need to download the ISO image from the official website. Once downloaded, you can burn the ISO image to a CD or DVD and boot up the system. Alternatively, you can also install Kali Linux on a virtual machine such as VirtualBox or VMware. Once installed, you can start the virtual machine and start exploring the various tools and features available in Kali Linux.
Once you have started Kali Linux, you can start exploring the various tools and features available in the system. You can use the command line interface to access the various tools and features available in Kali Linux. You can also use the graphical user interface to access the various tools and features available in Kali Linux. You can also use the various tools and features available in Kali Linux to perform exploit testing.
Now that you have both the Metasploitable VM and Kali Linux installed and configured, you can start exploit testing. Exploit testing is the process of using known vulnerabilities to gain access to a system. In this tutorial, we will be using the Metasploitable VM as our target system and Kali Linux as our attacking system. To start exploit testing, you will need to open a terminal window in Kali Linux and run the following command:
nmap -sV -sC -oA nmap_scan 192.168.1.101
This command will scan the Metasploitable VM for open ports and services. Once the scan is complete, you can use the Nmap tool to analyze the results and identify any potential vulnerabilities. Once you have identified a vulnerability, you can use the Metasploit Framework to exploit the vulnerability and gain access to the system. For more information on how to use the Metasploit Framework, please refer to the Metasploit Unleashed tutorial.
