This week we talked about initial scans using NMAP and NESSUS. We also talked about using TCPDUMP as a packet sniffer. As you work through your virtual environment this week, choose one (or more) of the following questions:
- What issue(s) are you encountering with NMAP, NESSUS, or other scanning tools?
- Did you discover any “interesting” traffic with TCPDUMP?
- How does practicing with a vulnerable device, such as the “MetaSploitable” help you learn more about vulnerability scanning and penetration testing?
