Welcome to the metasploitable3 wiki!
Metasploitable3 is a VM that is built from the ground up with a large amount of security vulnerabilities. It is intended to be used as a target for testing exploits with metasploit.
Previous versions of Metasploitable were distributed as a VM snapshot where everything was set up prior and saved in that state. This new version introduces a new approach, dynamically building the VM image. It utilizes Packer, Vagrant, and a ton of scripts to go from nothing to a fully functional, exploitable VM in minutes.
There are a lot of benefits to this new method of building. We can easily apply the same exploits on multiple operating systems, rebuild from scratch if something breaks, and best of all, accept contributions from the community.
