Overview of this book

The book starts with a hands-on Day 1 chapter, covering the basics of the Metasploit framework and preparing the readers for a self-completion exercise at the end of every chapter. The Day 2 chapter dives deep into the use of scanning and fingerprinting services with Metasploit while helping the readers to modify existing modules according to their needs. Following on from the previous chapter, Day 3 will focus on exploiting various types of service and client-side exploitation while Day 4 will focus on post-exploitation, and writing quick scripts that helps with gathering the required information from the exploited systems. The Day 5 chapter presents the reader with the techniques involved in scanning and exploiting various services, such as databases, mobile devices, and VOIP. The Day 6 chapter prepares the reader to speed up and integrate Metasploit with leading industry tools for penetration testing. Finally, Day 7 brings in sophisticated attack vectors and challenges based on the user’s preparation over the past six days and ends with a Metasploit challenge to solve.

Summary and preparation for real-world scenarios


This chapter allowed us to work on speeding up the process of a penetration test by automating exploitation and post-exploitation using multiple types of resource scripts. We also saw the usage and benefits of pushm, popm, and variable globalization. By the end, we saw how we could design professional reports and how the various sections of the report are to be rendered.

Before we begin Chapter 7, Exploiting Real-World Challenges with Metasploit, it is advised that you run through all the examples covered in the book so far and learn each and every method covered in detail. However, no book will help you hone your skills unless you practice each and every thing while enhancing your research capabilities.

We will make use of each and every technique learned in the previous chapters to solve the challenges in the next one, while learning some new technologies. You can practice the following exercises before reading through Chapter 7, Exploiting...
