What you need for this book
To follow and recreate the examples in this book, you will need two to three systems. One can be your penetration testing system, whereas others can be the systems to be tested. Alternatively, you can work on a single system and set up the other two on a virtual environment.
Apart from systems, you will need the latest ISO of Kali Linux, which comes with Metasploit that is preinstalled and contains all the other tools that are required for recreating the examples of this book.
However, you will need the ISO of Ubuntu, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 to test them with Metasploit. It is worth noting that all the other tools with their exact versions are described in this book.
