Metasploit Is The Most Widely Used Exploitation Framework

Metasploit is the most widely used exploitation framework. It supports all phases of penetration testing from information gathering to post-exploitation. It has two main versions - the commercial Metasploit Pro with a GUI, and the open-source Metasploit Framework used from the command line. The Metasploit Framework allows for information gathering, scanning, exploitation, exploit development, and post-exploitation. This document will cover the main components of Metasploit and provide a foundation on finding exploits, setting parameters, and exploiting vulnerable services to complete tasks from the command line.

Metasploit is the most widely used exploitation framework.

Metasploit is a powerful tool that can support all phases of a


penetration testing engagement, from information gathering to
post-exploitation.

Metasploit has two main versions:


 Metasploit Pro: The commercial version that facilitates
the automation and management of tasks. This version has a
graphical user interface (GUI).
 Metasploit Framework: The open-source version that works
from the command line. This room will focus on this
version, installed on the AttackBox and most commonly used
penetration testing Linux distributions.

The Metasploit Framework is a set of tools that allow


information gathering, scanning, exploitation, exploit
development, post-exploitation, and more. While the primary
usage of the Metasploit Framework focuses on the penetration
testing domain, it is also useful for vulnerability research
and exploit development.

The main components of the Metasploit Framework can be


summarized as follows;
 msfconsole: The main command-line interface.
 Modules: supporting modules such as exploits, scanners,
payloads, etc.
 Tools: Stand-alone tools that will help vulnerability
research, vulnerability assessment, or penetration
testing. Some of these tools are msfvenom, pattern_create
and pattern_offset. We will cover msfvenom within this
module, but pattern_create and pattern_offset are tools
useful in exploit development which is beyond the scope of
this module.

This room will cover the main components of Metasploit while


providing you with a solid foundation on how to find relevant
exploits, set parameters, and exploit vulnerable services on
the target system. Once you have completed this room, you will
be able to navigate and use the Metasploit command line
comfortably.

You can deploy and use the AttackBox to complete tasks and
answer the questions.
