# Introduction In this lab, we will learn how to exploit the Unreal IRCd service on the Metasploitable2 target machine hosted on the LabEx platform. We will start by gaining an understanding of the vulnerability in the Unreal IRCd service and then perform a vulnerability scan using Nmap. After identifying the vulnerable service, we will leverage the Metasploit framework to exploit the vulnerability and gain a remote shell on the target machine. Finally, we will validate our successful exploitation by executing commands on the compromised system.
