METASPLOIT: Penetration Testing Resources

The Metasploit Framework is an advanced open-source platform for developing, testing, and using exploit code. This project initially started off as a portable network game and has evolved into a powerful tool for Penetration Testing, Exploit Development, and Vulnerability Research.

The Framework was written in the Perl scripting language and includes various components written in C, assembler, and Python. The widespread support for the Perl language allows the Framework to run on almost any Unix-like system under its default configuration. A customized Cygwin environment is provided for users of Windows-based operating systems.

What is Metasploit Framework ?

Metasploit provides useful information and tools for penetration testers, security researchers, and IDS signature developers. This project was created to provide information on exploit techniques and to create a functional knowledgebase for exploit developers and security professionals.
The Metasploit Framework is both a penetration testing system and a development platform for creating security tools and exploits. The framework is used by network security professionals to perform penetration tests, system administrators to verify patch installations, product vendors to perform regression testing, and security researchers world-wide. The framework is written in the Ruby programming language and includes components written in C and assembler.

What does "Metasploit Framework" do ?

The framework consists of tools, libraries, modules, and user interfaces. The basic function of the framework is a module launcher, allowing the user to configure an exploit module and launch it at a target system. If the exploit succeeds, the payload is executed on the target and the user is provided with a shell to interact with the payload. Hundreds of exploits and dozens of payload options are available.

How To Use Metasploit Framework ?

Step 1:

You can Download Metasploit Framework from Here , as per your desired O.S.

Step 2:

Open Msf Console and type show exploits

Step 3:

Choose any exploits and Type use exploit name

Note: exploit name is choosen by you

Step 4:

Now you enter in exploit now type show payloads

Step 5:

Choose any payloads as per your Target and Type set PAYLOADS payload name

Note: payload name is choosen by you

Step 6:

Now you enter in payload now Type show options

Step 7:

Set all options one by one.and after that Type exploit to perform exploit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: YOU CAN SEARCH MORE EXPLOITS SIMPLY OPEN YOUTUBE.COM AND SEARCH FOR METASPLOIT. HERE YOU CAN FIND LOTS OF EXPLOIT IN VIDEO FORMAT.

METASPLOIT FRAMEWORK IS BUILT IN TOOL OF BACKTRACK

METASPLOIT FRAMEWORK IS NOT FOR SCANNING PURPOSE ITS ONLY USE FOR EXPLOIT. YOU CAN USE NMAP FOR SCANING OF REMOTE SYSTEM FOR I.P. ADDRESS AND OPEN PORT.
