What you need for this book
To follow and recreate the examples in this book, you will need six to seven systems. One can be your penetration testing system, whereas others can be the systems under test. Alternatively, you can work on a single system and set up a virtual environment.
Apart from systems or virtualization, you will need the latest ISO of Kali Linux, which already packs Metasploit by default and contains all the other tools that are required for recreating the examples of this book.
You will also need to install Ubuntu, Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012, Metasploitable 2 and Windows 10 either on virtual machines or live systems as all these operating systems will serve as the test bed for Metasploit.
Additionally, links to all other required tools and vulnerable software are provided in the chapters.
