Preparing the host

Before we start scanning, we need a host to target, so let's quickly create the folder structure and Vagrantfile. To create the structure, run the following commands:

$ mkdir scap scap/group_vars scap/roles
$ touch scap/Vagrantfile scap/production scap/site.yml scap/group_vars/common.yml

The scap/Vagrantfile we created should contain the following code:

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

API_VERSION = "2"
BOX_NAME = "russmckendrick/centos75"
BOX_IP = "10.20.30.40"
DOMAIN = "nip.io"
PRIVATE_KEY = "~/.ssh/id_rsa"
PUBLIC_KEY = '~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub'

Vagrant.configure(API_VERSION) do |config|
  config.vm.box = BOX_NAME
  config.vm.network "private_network", ip: BOX_IP
  config.vm.host_name = BOX_IP + '.' + DOMAIN
  config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true
  config.ssh.insert_key = false
  config.ssh.private_key_path = [PRIVATE_KEY, "~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key"]
  config.vm.provision "file", source: PUBLIC_KEY, destination: "~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
