Discover the art of exploitation by leveraging a real-world vulnerability. Next, explore the exploitation features of the Metasploit framework.

In this module, we present the foundational knowledge of exploiting vulnerabilities. We exploit a vulnerability and compromise a machine without using any exploitation framework. Then, we learn how to use Metasploit, a widely used framework that simplifies the process of exploiting vulnerabilities. Ultimately, you will use the knowledge learned in the module to exploit a vulnerable Windows machine.

What are modules?

A learning pathway is made up of modules, and a module is made of bite-sized rooms (think of a room like a mini security lab).
