Description This is the first book available for the Metasploit Framework (MSF), which is the attack platform of choice for one of the fastest growing
careers in IT security: Penetration Testing. The book and companion Web site will provide professional penetration testers and security
researchers with a fully integrated suite of tools for discovering, running, and testing exploit code.
This book discusses how to use
the Metasploit Framework (MSF) as an exploitation platform. The book begins with a detailed discussion of the three MSF interfaces: msfweb,
msfconsole, and msfcli .This chapter demonstrates all of the features offered by the MSF as an exploitation platform. With a solid understanding
of MSF?s capabilities, the book then details techniques for dramatically reducing the amount of time required for developing functional
exploits.
By working through a real-world vulnerabilities against popular closed source applications, the reader will learn how to use
the tools and MSF to quickly build reliable attacks as standalone exploits. The section will also explain how to integrate an exploit
directly into the Metasploit Framework by providing a line-by-line analysis of an integrated exploit module. Details as to how the Metasploit
engine drives the behind-the-scenes exploitation process will be covered, and along the way the reader will come to understand the advantages
of exploitation frameworks. The final section of the book examines the Meterpreter payload system and teaches readers to develop completely
new extensions that will integrate fluidly with the Metasploit Framework.
