Penetration testing is a crucial component of any cybersecurity strategy, enabling organizations to identify vulnerabilities in their systems before attackers can exploit them. This thesis has two primary objectives:
To explore the combined use of Greenbone Vulnerability Management (GVM) and the Metasploit Framework (MF) in assessing the security of a target system. To evaluate the effectiveness of integrating these two popular vulnerabilities scanning and penetration testing tools within a controlled lab environment.
By combining the vulnerability assessment capabilities of GVM with the exploitation tools provided by Metasploit, the thesis demonstrates an approach to penetration testing that can help organizations strengthen their overall security posture and better protect their critical assets from potential cyber threats.
