Penetration Testing #2 - Vulnerability assesment lab from INE free course
Hi there! Here is another step towards the goal of becoming a security specialist. Today we have the lab which states about vulnerability assessment . Another phase in the saint circle of a successful penetration test. Before exploitation, we need to understand what the weakest point is in the whole targeted infrastructure. To break into a network it is crucial to know what machines are vulnerable and how we can exploit these security holes to gain full access into a firm. The INE free course shares a great lab that is created for our purpose. This exercise is called Nessus, from the name of the tool that we are supposed to use. After a short introduction let's dig into hacking. Nessus - vulnerability assessment lab The goal of this lab is pretty simple - we have to find a machine inside the network and scan it using the Nessus . The report generated after this action will tell us about all possible vulnerabilities that the host has. But we need to remember that this tool is not
