Recalling the basics of Metasploit, we are all set to perform our first penetration test with Metasploit. Consider an on-site scenario where we are asked to test an IP address and check if it's vulnerable to an attack. The sole purpose of this test is to ensure all proper checks are in place or not. The scenario is quite straightforward. We presume that all the pre-interactions are carried out with the client, and that the actual testing phase is going to start.
Please refer to the Revisiting the case study section if you want to perform the hands-on alongside reading the case study, as this will help you emulate the entire case study with exact configuration and network details.
