Vulnerable machines are systems intentionally designed or configured with security weaknesses to help cybersecurity professionals and ethical hackers practice penetration testing and exploit real-world scenarios safely.
These machines simulate vulnerabilities like weak passwords, misconfigurations, outdated software, and insecure network services.
Common platforms offering vulnerable machines include Metasploitable, OWASP Broken Web Applications, DVWA, and Hack The Box.
They are essential for learning ethical hacking, vulnerability assessment, and exploit development in a controlled environment.
