Task 3 - Penetration Test
The main aim of this technique is to perform penetration testing and analyse them using a Linux
based system. By the help of this system students should perform various activities like
collecting information, detection of large problems in the machine and exploiting them. By the
use of various types of testing methods people can perform vulnerability mitigation for checking
the penetration level.
1.1 Attacking Narrative
For the better result we can add both Kali Linux and Metasploit Virtual machine on VMware
Workstation ("10 Most Common Web Security Vulnerabilities", 2019).
The next step is to switch it on using the power button present in the kali Linux. A proper
explanation is given below in detail.

It is essential to switch ON the Metasploit LUI. The techniques are explained in detail below.
When you switch ON both the software, the following step is to start the VMnet3 by initiating
the basic process of network settings. The technique is compulsory in both Kali and Metasploit.

Set up a proper IP address in Kali Linux.
The same procedure which is used for setting up the IP address should also be found in
Metasploit.

Restarted the Kali Linux after setting up the IP address.
In Kali Linux after restarting of networking system the output can be obtained. .
