Exercise 2.1: Identifying your engagement targets

This exercise doesn’t necessarily have a correct answer. But the result after completing it should be a list of IP addresses in your scope of IP address ranges that have responded to your host-discovery probes. These IP addresses should be in a file called targets.txt located in your hosts directory. If you are performing your engagement against the Capsulecorp Pentest environment, you should have the following IP addresses in your targets.txt file:

172.28.128.100
172.28.128.101
172.28.128.102
172.28.128.103
172.28.128.104
172.28.128.105 

Your file tree should look like this:

└── capsulecorp ├── discovery │ hosts │ ├── targets.txt │ │ ├── ranges.txt │ └── services ...
