Metasploit Task 5 - Vulnerability Scanning Challenge and EternalBlue Detection Issue

The post discusses a TryHackMe Metasploit task where the user is attempting to identify a vulnerability on a target machine. The hint suggests the machine is vulnerable to EternalBlue (MS17-010), but the user ran the auxiliary/scanner/smb/smb_ms17_010 module and received an "SMB Login error" when connecting to the IPC$ tree. The user questions how they would realistically determine vulnerabilities without hints, noting that searching for scanners in Metasploit returned 750 results. They express frustration about potentially having to test each one manually.
