Internal penetration test of a Metasploitable2 Linux server (ethical hacking capstone).

A full internal penetration test of Metasploitable2 covering information gathering, password auditing, vulnerability assessment, and social engineering simulation. Conducted using Kali Linux, Nmap, John the Ripper, Metasploit, and the Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET) as part of the ParoCyber Ethical Hacking Capstone Project.

A Python-based network vulnerability scanner that automates host discovery, port scanning, service enumeration, and vulnerability assessment using Nmap. Designed to streamline network reconnaissance and security analysis in lab environments.
