Take your penetration testing and IT security skills to a whole new level with the secrets of MetasploitAbout This BookGain the skills to carry out penetration testing in complex and highly-secured environmentsBecome a master using the Metasploit framework, develop exploits, and generate modules for a variety of real-world scenariosGet this completely updated edition with new useful methods and techniques to make your network robust and resilientWho This Book Is ForThis book is a hands-on guide to penetration testing using Metasploit and covers its complete development. It shows a number of techniques and methodologies that will help you master the Metasploit framework and explore approaches to carrying out advanced penetration testing in highly secured environments.What You Will LearnDevelop advanced and sophisticated auxiliary modulesPort exploits from PERL, Python, and many more programming languagesTest services such as databases, SCADA, and many moreAttack the client side with highly advanced techniquesTest mobile and tablet devices with MetasploitPerform social engineering with MetasploitSimulate attacks on web servers and systems with Armitage GUIScript attacks in Armitage using CORTANA scriptingIn DetailMetasploit is a popular penetration testing framework that has one of the largest exploit databases around. This book will show you exactly how to prepare yourself against the attacks you will face every day by simulating real-world possibilities.We start by reminding you about the basic functionalities of Metasploit and its use in the most traditional ways. You'll get to know about the basics of programming Metasploit modules as a refresher, and then dive into carrying out exploitation as well building and porting exploits of various kinds in Metasploit.In the next section, you'll develop the ability to perform testing on various services such as SCADA, databases, IoT, mobile, tablets, and many more services. After this training, we jump into real-world sophisticated scenarios where performing penetration tests are a challenge. With real-life case studies, we take you on a journey through client-side attacks using Metasploit and various scripts built on the Metasploit framework.By the end of the book, you will be trained specifically on time-saving techniques using Metasploit.Style and approachThis is a step-by-step guide that provides great Metasploit framework methodologies. All the key concepts are explained details with the help of examples and demonstrations that will help you understand everything you need to know about Metasploit.
