Nmap: Ep.8 – Scan Output

I need to read a token from the file located at "/home/kali/Desktop/token". I suspect that the telnet service running on port 22 is vulnerable, but telnet is not available on Kali Machine. I have tested all other services, and they appear to be secure. I am uncertain about the next steps to take.

    You are overthinking this one. Once you do XML -> HTML conversion the token file will be generated on your Desktop.

      pboguCan you explain the reasoning behind this? The system only generates a token file when the HTML file is named 'converted-html.html' and does not do so for any other HTML file names.

        It's just a simple exercise to make sure you familiarize yourself with nmap options and do it. OS monitors the files and once detected you did it correctly/as requested it generates a token and allows you to progress further
