Virtual Host Discovery
During a discovery scan, Metasploit Pro will detect any guest operating systems, or virtual machines, on the target system. Metasploit Pro displays a list of virtual machines on the host page and denotes the virtual machine with a VM icon.For example, a machine that runs VMware ESX displays the VMware icon and the guest operating system and version. Use this information to differentiate between real machines and virtual machines.
