This customized version of the open source Metasploitable2 virtual machine is specially modified to make it more user-friendly for beginners and K-12 hacking camps under the GenCyber program and similar middle- and high-school ethical hacking programs.
This version was developed by Bryson Payne and is used in the book "Go H*ck Yourself" (Go Hack Yourself), by No Starch Press.
Most of the changes are to DVWA, relabeled "Darn Vulnerable Web App" for the K-12 audience. Like the original Metasploitable2 virtual server, this VM is designed to be vulnerable for ethical hacking practice and should be used only on a closed network. Never make a Metasploitable2 VM publicly accessible over the internet - use inside a safe, virtual network on a host with an active firewall, antivirus/anti-malware, and other standard security software/hardware protection.

The default login/password is msfadmin:msfadmin.

The web site for the book, Go Hack Yourself, is https://nostarch.com/go-hck-yourself
