Instructions for answering lab questions (applies to all future labs):

1. Unless the question only asks you to submit a screenshot, you must verbally answer the

question, and attach screenshot to support your answer.

2. You will be graded based on your answer but not the screenshot, and you will not get points if

your answer is incorrect (the screenshot contains all information including the correct answer,

but you must know and specifically point it out).

3. Your screenshot must be zoom to the proper level that includes necessary information only. You

can annotate on the screenshot if you’d like. You screenshot should be legit and readable when

being displayed on a regular sized monitor. Do not screenshot the whole monitor display and

1. Overview

In this lab, students will learn how Metasploit and Nmap can be used in combination to streamline the

scanning process. Students will learn how to find open ports, how to find the services running on those

ports, how to further enumerate discovered ports, and how to save the results for reporting. For this lab,

students will use the Cyber Range: Kali Linux with Metasploitable environment to perform port

scanning and Enumeration.

This exercise requires a Kali Linux VM running in the Cyber Range.

3. Initial Setup

For this exercise, you will log in to your Cyber Range account and select the Kali Linux with

Metasploitable environment, then click “start” to start your environment and “join” to get to your Linux

desktop login. Log in using these credentials:
