The Metasploit Framework makes discovering,
exploiting, and sharing vulnerabilities quick and
relatively painless. But while Metasploit is used by
security professionals everywhere, the tool can be
hard to grasp for first-time users. Metasploit: The
Penetration Tester’s Guide fills this gap by teaching you
how to harness the Framework and interact with the
vibrant community of Metasploit contributors.
Once you’ve built your foundation for penetration
testing, you’ll learn the Framework’s conventions,
interfaces, and module system as you launch simulated
attacks. You’ll move on to advanced penetration testing
techniques, including network reconnaissance and
enumeration, client-side attacks, wireless attacks, and
targeted social-engineering attacks.
Learn how to:
Find and exploit unmaintained, misconfigured, and
unpatched systems
Perform reconnaissance and find valuable
information about your target
Bypass antivirus technologies and circumvent
security controls
Integrate Nmap, NeXpose, and Nessus with
Metasploit to automate discovery
Use the Meterpreter shell to launch further
attacks from inside the network
Harness stand-alone Metasploit utilities, third-
party tools, and plug-ins
Learn how to write your own Meterpreter post-
exploitation modules and scripts
You’ll even touch on exploit discovery for zero-day
research, write a fuzzer, port existing exploits into the
Framework, and learn how to cover your tracks. Whether
your goal is to secure your own networks or to put
someone else’s to the test, Metasploit: The Penetration
Tester’s Guide will take you there and beyond.
