In the previous recipe, we discussed Nessus as a potential vulnerability scanner. In this recipe, we will cover another important vulnerability scanner called NeXpose.
NeXpose is a popular tool by Rapid7, which performs the task of vulnerability scanning and importing results to the Metasploit database. The usage of NeXpose is similar to Nessus, but let's have a quick look at how to get started with NeXpose. I will leave the task of exploring it deeper as an assignment for you.
