# Introduction In this lab, you will learn how to exploit vulnerabilities in the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service to gain unauthorized access to a target machine. The scenario is set in a cybersecurity context, where you will assume the role of an ethical hacker tasked with identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in a vulnerable FTP server. The objective of this lab is to gain root access to the Metasploitable2 target machine by leveraging an FTP service vulnerability and utilizing the Metasploit Framework, a popular penetration testing tool. Through this hands-on experience, you will gain a deeper understanding of the FTP Bounce Attack, port scanning techniques, and the exploitation process using Metasploit.
