4. Check db\_status

```
db_status
```

6. Make sure you cover all targets. then export vulns into a txt file from meterpreter:

```
vulns -o EntityName_vulns_result.txt
```

7. Summary the findings:

```
#!/bin/bash
# ./recap_findings.sh input.txt

RESET="\e[0m"  # Reset color

awk -F ',' '

```

If meterpreter problem memory blah blah:

{% hint style="info" %}
Reinstall meterpreter
{% endhint %}
