— This article is a hands-on lab on enumerating network services and exploiting file transfer protocols.
In this lab, you will simulate the initial stages of penetration testing:
⏺You will begin by confirming a connection to the target machine;
⏺You will use nmap, a powerful network scanning tool, to detect open ports and identify running services;
⏺Finally, you will exploit a misconfigured FTP service that allows anonymous access to obtain a hidden flag.
