The situation

Tool: nmap. The first tool out of the box. Map target thoroughly and save machine-readable output you can feed to the rest of your workflow.

What you will do

  1. Service and version scan
  2. Extract just the open ports
  3. What does -sV add over a plain scan?question

How it works

The lab opens in your browser: a real terminal or desktop, nothing to install. Work through the tasks, press Check after each one and the portal verifies your work. Stuck? Ask for a hint. Finish every task and you get a certificate page with its own verification link for LinkedIn or your CV.
