Task 1: Write a Bash script to perform network scanning using Nmap.

Task 2: Create a script to enumerate open ports and services on target hosts.

Task 3: Implement OS fingerprinting and version detection using Bash commands.

Task 4: Combine scripts to automate reconnaissance tasks and gather comprehensive information about target systems.

Task 1: Develop a Bash script to automate the exploitation of common vulnerabilities (e.g., SMB, FTP).

Task 4: Create a script to launch a series of exploits against multiple targets simultaneously.

Task 3: Implement error handling and logging in exploit scripts to facilitate troubleshooting and analysis.

Task 2: Customize exploit scripts for specific targets and scenarios.

Task 3: Implement obfuscation and encoding techniques to disguise Bash scripts and evade detection.
