Metasploitable is an intentionally vulnerable Linux virtual machine. This VM can be used to conduct security training, test security tools, and practice common penetration testing techniques.

  • How did you extract it to vmdk - Virtual Machine Disk Format. My experience after downloading and extracting all i can see here is vmdk - Progold_VirtualBox.Shell.vmdk. Can anyone please help?
  • For those that are having issues getting this going, it can also be the way in which you extracted the files. Personally I had no issues when extracting with 7zip. As for unusual traffic and missing files please keep in mind this is a vulnerable machine; dont expose to the outside world. Make sure you have the proper network adapter settings. You can link directly to another vm instance such as kali for instance, be safe!
  • Nice, but no support for KVM/Qemu hypervisors. Virtualbox doesn't have signed kernel drivers for Linux. KVM is kernel native. Please make an image available for KVM/Qemu.
  • great alternative for windows 11, runs much more smoother. great for logging into your favorite banking sites
