Network Recon & Exploitation

Objective

Perform a network reconnaissance on the target subnet 192.168.1.0/24, identify open services, and exploit a misconfigured SSH service to gain initial access.

Progress0%

// Tasks

Run nmap scan on 192.168.1.0/24
Identify open ports on target host
Enumerate SSH service version
Capture network traffic via Wireshark
Document findings in the notes panel
Run packet simulation & verify path

Start with nmap -sV -p- 192.168.1.100 and look for an SSH banner that reveals the version.
