Metasploitable 3 often has : NAT (internet) and Host-Only (192.168.56.x). You can pivot into the host-only network.
You will see the local user hashes (LM/NTLM). You can crack these offline using Hashcat or John the Ripper.
If your Meterpreter session dies, you lose access. Migrate to a stable process like lsass.exe or svchost.exe .
Once in Jenkins, go to "Manage Jenkins" -> "Script Console". This is a Groovy script executor. You can run: metasploitable 3 windows walkthrough
Here’s a structured text walkthrough for attacking using Metasploit. This assumes you have Metasploitable 3 (Windows Server 2008 / Windows 2012) running and Kali Linux as the attacker.
If the build process fails, you can download a pre‑built .box file from community sources:
# From your Kali machine python windows-exploit-suggester.py --update python windows-exploit-suggester.py --database <db.xls> --systeminfo systeminfo.txt Metasploitable 3 often has : NAT (internet) and
Default credentials on Metasploitable 3: vagrant:vagrant
Try default credentials:
Assuming your attacking machine (Kali Linux) and Metasploitable 3 are on the same host-only or NAT network, identify the target IP address and run an aggressive Nmap service scan. nmap -p- -sV -sC -T4 Use code with caution. -p- : Scans all 65,535 TCP ports. -sV : Determines service and version information. -sC : Runs default Nmap Object Model (NSE) scripts. -T4 : Speeds up execution for lab environments. Expected Open Ports You can crack these offline using Hashcat or John the Ripper
Since this is a Windows 2008 R2 machine, it might be vulnerable to . Verify: Use auxiliary/scanner/smb/smb_ms17_010 . Exploit:
If you have vagrant:vagrant or administrator:vagrant , you can use WinRM.
