You will use a popular vulnerability scanning tool called Nessus that helps to identify those vulnerabilities that hackers seek out to exploit.

Before you start, for the Windows Operating System (OS), you must download the WINPCAP first and then the Nessus.

· Access the WINPCAP (Windows OS only) instructions.

· Access the Nessus instructions.

· Access the instructions for how to use Nessus.
