Using an Exploit Framework via Command Line Interface

Vulnerabilities in applications and systems can allow attackers to gain unauthorized access. Penetration testing helps identify and mitigate vulnerabilities before attackers discover and exploit them. Penetration testing is typically accomplished using various tools, including exploitation frameworks.

This Skill Lab provides a virtual environment that contains an exploitation framework and a vulnerable system for training developers, cybersecurity professionals, and IT staff to perform essential penetration testing tasks.
