Pop3 Version

Description

This module identifies the version of POP3 in use by the server based on the server's banner. Any POP3 sever should return this information.

Vulnerable Application

Install Dovecot on Kali Linux:

With this install, we'll only install POP3 for dovecot, as the other protocols are not required. However, this is unrealistic in a production environment.

1. sudo apt-get install dovecot-pop3d
2. /etc/init.d/dovecot start

Verification Steps

1. Do: use auxiliary/scanner/pop3/pop3_version
2. Do: set rhosts [ips]
3. Do: run

Scenarios
