Dz-Metasploit #Vulnerable

In this post, we will create a new VM from a pre-built virtual machine of Metasploitable2 and tweak it. Metasploitable is an intentionally vulnerable Linux virtual machine. This VM can be used to conduct security training, test security tools, and practice common penetration testing techniques.

Guest Additions

I couldn’t find a method to install guest addition components on this pre-built Metasploitable VM. It is based on an old operating system and CLI based. Thus, guest additions are not applicable. Unfortunately, we will not be able to use the clipboard (cut/paste) and shared folder on this VM.

Post Installation

Rename the hostname to ‘dz-metasploit’.
- Edit ‘/etc/hosts’ and ‘/etc/hostname’
Change the IP address to ‘192.168.56.212’.
- Edit ‘/etc/network/interfaces’

# auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.56.212
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.56.1
