Hello fellas, today we’ll walkthrough Kioptrix vulnerable machine.
I will try to explain every step simple & short.

Before I’ll start pentest, I’ll cover virtual machine common installation problems:

  • Kernel panic - not syncing - Attempted to kill init!
  • Virtual machine is not listed in netdiscover

  1. We can deal with kernel panic error with following solution: Go to the VM Settings –> Storage delete CentOs4.5.vmdk from Controller: SATA and add it again in new hard drive in Controller: IDE

  2. If virtual machine is not listed in netdiscover: Go to VM settings –> Network and change from NAT to Bridged Adapter

    Okay let’s start our pentest now, as I already mentioned I’ll explain every step simple & short.
    First things first, we need to scan our network to find out what’s the IP address of our Kioptrix virtual machine.

netdiscover -i eth0
