Metasploit overview

What is Metasploit?

Metasploit is a penetration testing tool designed for offensive security teams. It provides access to a vast database of real-world exploits maintained by a global community of contributors and users.

Metasploit automatically correlates the right exploits to the right vulnerabilities, enabling users to safely simulate attacks and verify the likelihood and impact of exposures. Metasploit's intuitive phishing and USB drop campaign wizards test user awareness, while its antivirus evasion techniques and post-exploitation modules allow users to dive deeper into a network after an initial breach. By integrating with Rapid7's InsightVM, it also creates a closed-loop penetration testing and vulnerability management workflow, ensuring that the most impactful vulnerabilities are prioritized and remediated.
