Master the world's most used penetration testing framework. Develop exploits, manage payloads, and automate attacks with Metasploit.
Metasploit is the 'Swiss Army Knife' of hacking. This course goes beyond running pre-made scripts. You will learn the architecture of the framework, how to select and configure exploits, and how to match them with appropriate payloads (Shell vs Meterpreter). Master post-exploitation modules to gather hashes, pivot through networks, and maintain persistence. We also cover writing simple custom modules in Ruby to extend the framework's capabilities.
