Here are the key steps I would take to complete the Nessus vulnerability assessment scan lab:
1. Log into the Nessus Manager web interface and create a new scan policy tailored to the target system. Select the appropriate plugin sets and risk factors.
2. Launch Nessus and configure the scan settings such as target IP address, port range, credentials if needed.
3. Initiate the scan and monitor the progress. Examine results as they come in, taking note of critical vulnerabilities and recommendations.
4. Once complete, review the full vulnerability report. Take screenshots of important findings and analyze the results. Note common vulnerabilities, risk levels, and any false positives.
5. Generate a PDF
