Arrange the following Metasploit workflow commands in the order they are typically executed within msfconsole to find, select, configure, and launch an exploit module: set, exploit, search, use, show options.

Answer

search, use, show options, set, exploit

Explanation

### The order 1. **Search for a candidate module**: Searching identifies possible modules relevant to the authorized test objective. 2. **Review the module information**: The description and requirements help determine whether the candidate is appropriate before selecting it. 3. **Select the module**: Loading the chosen module establishes the context for viewing and configuring its settings. 4. **Inspect and configure required options**: Required settings must be reviewed and set for the authorized test environment before execution. 5. **Run the test**: Execution comes after selection and configuration, not before. ### The concept Metasploit is operated through interfaces such as `msfconsole`, where commands act on the current context. The `search` command helps locate modules, `info` displays module details, `use` selects a module, and options can then be inspected and configured. `exploit` runs an exploit module. This sequence is a conceptual workflow for an authorized lab, not permission to test an outside system. ### Terms - **Module**: A component designed to perform a specific framework function. - **Option**: A configurable setting required or used by a module. - **msfconsole**: A centralized command-line interface for the Metasploit Framework. ### Remember Identify and understand the module before configuring it, and configure it before running a test.
