    Questions

    1. Which web server software is running on the target server and also find out the version using nmap.
    2. Which web server software is running on the target server and also find out the version using suitable metasploit module.  
    3. Check what web app is hosted on the web server using curl command.
    4. Check what web app is hosted on the web server using wget command.
    5. Check what web app is hosted on the web server using browsh CLI based browser.
    6. Check what web app is hosted on the web server using lynx CLI based browser.
    7. Perform bruteforce on webserver directories and list the names of directories found. Use brute_dirs metasploit module.
    8. Use the directory buster (dirb) with tool/usr/share/metasploit-framework/data/wordlists/directory.txt dictionary to check if any directory is present in the root folder of the web server. List the names of found directories.
    9. Which bot is specifically banned from accessing a specific directory?

    Instructions: 

    • This lab is dedicated to you! No other users are on this network :) 
    • Once you start the lab, you will have access to a root terminal of a Kali instance
    • Your Kali has an interface with IP address 192.X.Y.Z. Run "ip addr" to know the values of X and Y.
    • The Target machine should be located at the IP address 192.X.Y.3. 
    • Do not attack the gateway located at IP address 192.X.Y.1


    Verify:
    1. Which bot is specifically banned from accessing a specific directory?
