Vulnerabilities in SMB (Server Message Block) network services pose significant security risks, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access or launch denial of service (DoS) attacks. This Skill Lab provides hands-on experience using a popular penetration testing tool to scan systems for vulnerable SMB server versions. Within the virtual environment, learners will work with a pre-configured exploitation framework and a vulnerable system, enabling practical training in identifying and mitigating SMB vulnerabilities. By understanding the intricacies of SMB version scanning, participants can enhance their penetration testing skills and improve network security measures.
Learning Objectives
After completing this lab, learners will be adept at using exploitation frameworks to identify vulnerable SMB versions, perform essential network scanning tasks, and implement measures to protect against unauthorized access and DoS attacks on SMB network services.
