I've found that students often struggle with practical applications of pentesting tools. One way I make this easier is by using Kali Linux labs to demonstrate real-world scenarios. For example, I set up a vulnerable machine using Metasploitable and have students practice using Nmap for network discovery and Metasploit for exploitation. I also encourage them to experiment with EvilPDF for embedding payloads into PDFs, which ties in nicely with social engineering topics. Does anyone have tips on simulating phishing attacks for teaching purposes?
