LAB 627 – Using an Exploit Framework for Port Scanning (NEW)

Course Overview

Using an Exploit Framework for Port Scanning is a crucial skill for developers, cybersecurity professionals, and IT staff, enabling them to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities within network services. This Skill Lab provides hands-on experience with a popular penetration testing tool, allowing learners to perform comprehensive port scans on a vulnerable system. By integrating port scanning into the development lifecycle, participants can proactively detect and address potential security threats, fortifying their networked systems against unauthorized access and denial of service attacks. The virtual environment offers a realistic setting to practice and hone these essential penetration testing skills.

After completing this lab, the learner will understand how to effectively use an exploit framework for port scanning, identifying open ports and vulnerabilities within network services to enhance the security posture of their systems.
