A project is the workspace that you use to build a penetration test. Each project logically groups together the hosts that you want to exploit and the type of information that you want to obtain. Every project has a name, description, and network range.After you create a project, you need to run a discovery scan or an import to bring host data into the project.
1.)
• Project name - This is a unique identifier that helps you differentiate between projects.
• Description - This is a summary of the purpose and scope of the project.
• Network range - This is the default network range that project uses. The network range sets the default address range that automatically populates the Target Addresses field in discovery scans and Nexpose scans. Metasploit Pro does not enforce the network address range unless you enable the network restriction option. If you want to enter multiple network ranges, use a comma to separate each one.
3.) Select Restrict to network range if you want to enforce network boundaries on the project.
4.) From the User Access area, select the following information:
• Project owner - This is the person who owns the projects.
• Project members - These are the users who can access, edit, and run the test.
