Challenge
Creating a Malicious Payload with MSFVenom
In this challenge, you will generate a malicious payload using MSFVenom, a powerful tool within the Metasploit framework. You will learn how to craft a payload that opens a reverse shell connection back to your attacker's machine when executed on a target machine. This process involves configuring the payload with the appropriate IP address and port, ensuring it is correctly formatted, and verifying its integrity.

Challenge
Executing the Malicious Payload
In this challenge, you will download and execute the malicious payload generated in challenge 1. You will transfer the payload to a Target Machine and execute it to establish a reverse shell connection. This hands-on activity will simulate a real-world attack scenario, where you will gain unauthorized access to the Target Machine and interact with it through the command shell.
