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 anti-virus 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 standalone Metasploit utilities, third-party tools, and plug-ins–Learn how to write your own Meterpreter post exploitation modules and scriptsYou''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.

Fully revised to include all new chapters on attacking cloud applications, industrial control systems, and recent vulnerabilities, you'll learn Metasploit's module system, conventions, and interfaces as you launch simulated attacks. The Metasploit Framework makes discovering, exploiting, and sharing systemic vulnerabilities quick and painless. But, this popular pentesting tool can be hard to grasp for first-time users. Written by some of the world's top hackers and security experts, Metasploit fills the gap by teaching you how to best harness the Framework and interact with its vibrant community of Metasploit open-source contributors.  This indispensable guide's updated second edition introduces modules and commands recently added to the Metasploit Framework, along with new chapters on the Cloud Lookup (and Bypass) module and attacking IoT or SCADA (industrial) systems using the Mobius client module. You'll learn: modern pentesting techniques, including network reconnaissance and enumeration, the Metasploit Framework's conventions, interfaces, and module system, client-side attacks, wireless exploits, targeted social-engineering attacks. In a digital ecosystem increasingly driven by cloud-based and industrial attacks, the modern hacking techniques covered in Metasploit, 2nd Edition are essential for today's penetration testers.
