Scenario
You're a junior analyst at Chaos Security, and a local financial organization has hired you to analyze two new hosts that will be deployed on their network. These two hosts, one Windows and one Linux, must first be analyzed for vulnerabilities before they’re released properly.
Fortunately, one of your colleagues has already scanned the Windows host and provided you with the results to analyze. However, you'll need to scan the Linux host yourself and then analyze the results.
