Network Attacks assesment - 1.2 Skill Check

Tasks 1&2 are easy.
For the #3 though - it says do (basically) ip a in Kali Console and then run netdiscover on the subnet found to find the Linux server. The problem though is that there’s no netdiscover on the machine. I ran nmap for the whole subnet though, found 2 IPs that answered, but nmap -p- shows all ports closed.

Am I doing something wrong or is the challenge broken?

netdiscover worked fine for me…

Here was the command I ran…

You do have to use sudo to make netdiscover work.

That’s totally strange and it seems to have more sense that my current instance of task must be broken.
I managed to install netdiscover eventually (via initial terminal, the one that started clabnet), had to add -s switch to netdiscover and when I finally hit it - found 2 hosts, one with 17 captured packets, the other with just one. Neither had any ports opened.

Well, remember that there are multiple desktops, and you have to switch to the Kali desktop for this task.

RTFM… :man_facepalming: 2hrs+ wasted on not reading the task properly.
Thx. I feel ashamed now. At least a bit.
Thanks @JosephWhite
