Using-The-Metasploit-Console

Metasploit console enables ethical hackers to simulate real world attack, identify vulnerabilities, and test defense. in this project i will demonstrate how to use key commands and configuration on Metasploit console effectively to strengthen security from an attacker perspective.Objective

Objectives

• Start Metasploit console
• Utilizing search portscan
• Searching CVE on Metasploit console
• Setting target host for auxiliary scan
• Accessing payloads
• Setting Payloads

Tools Used

-Kali Linux -VMware

Steps

-To start Metasploit console (msfconsole) -To utilize search ports can to identify relevant port scanning auxiliary modules that can be use for network reconnaissance (search portscan) -To search for CVE(Common Vulnerability Exposure) in the Metasploit console to find and load Metasploit module(search cve:) -To set target host for auxiliary scan to ensure accurate data collection during auxiliary scanning in Metasploit(to set,set RHOST ,to unset, unset RHOST ) -To access payload (show payload)

• Setting Payloads(search type payload name:ssh) after search (set )

Key Findings
