Vulnerability 101 with OpenVAS and Metasploitable 2

In this hands-on course, you will master the complete vulnerability management lifecycle—from initial discovery to successful remediation. You will start by building a localized testing lab in VirtualBox, deploying OpenVAS (a leading open-source vulnerability scanner) alongside Metasploitable 2 (a purposefully vulnerable target host). Through practical application, you will execute active network scans, analyze the resulting telemetry, and identify exploitable security flaws. Finally, you will be guided step-by-step through patching and resolving a critical vulnerability, giving you real-world experience in the end-to-end vulnerability management process.
