I've been tasked with setting up an outdated version of Ubuntu 16.04 with Apache2 webserver version 2.4 installed on a virtual machine, with the intention of discovering exploits and vulnerabilities.
This will involve using nmap to scan the network and using metasploitable to run scripts. I am unsure on which network adapter would be most apropriate for a task like this given I will be running apache webserver.
Should I use bridged adapter and run the ubuntu through my own network? Or should I use something like NAT? Thanks.
Also I want to note that I will be using a seperate machine on virtualbox running Kali linux where i will be running nmap, metasploit and other tools.
