Metasploitable2 Report ________________________________________________________________

Introduction The Metasploitable2 virtual machine (VM) is a Linux virtual machine purposely designed with security flaws to demonstrate vulnerabilities and tools used to exploit them. This lab will cover installation of Metaspolitable2 with VMware and VirtualBox applications.

Objective The focus of this lab is to install the metasplotable2 linux machine to be used in further labs.

Model Name: Gateway 14.1" FHD Ultra Slim Notebook



Model Identifier: GWTN141-4BL



Chip: Intel Core i5-1035G1



Total Number of Cores: 4 (8 threads)



Memory: 16 GB



Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit

Software and Websites used to perform analysis: 

VMware Player 15.5Pro : https://www.vmware.com/products/workstation-player.html

Results and Analysis 1. Download the preconfigured Metasploitable2 VM.

2. Open the machine file using VMware

3. Adjust the network settings to be local network with the host only to deny the internet access for this machine.

4. Start the machine and login using “msfadmin” as user and password.

5. Use ifconfig command to check the machine ip address.

6. Configure Kali machine network adapter to be local host only so that both machines can be in the same network subnet and ping the Metasploitable2 machine from kali terminal.

7. Finally, open the Metasploitable2 webpage using its IP address from firefox browser to confirm that the machines are configured correctly.

Conclusion The Metasploitable2 machine has been virtualized successfully and ready to be used in Burp Suite lab....
