We have covered a lot in the past few chapters. It is now time to test all the methodologies that we have covered throughout this book, along with various other testing tools, and see how we can easily perform penetration testing and vulnerability assessments over the target network, website, or other services.
During the course of this chapter, we will look at various methods for testing which will cover the following topics:
Using Metasploit along with the industry's various other penetration testing tools
Importing the reports of various tools and formats into the Metasploit framework
Working with other tools using Metasploit for penetration testing
Generating penetration test reports
The primary focus of this chapter is to cover penetration testing with other industry leading tools alongside Metasploit. However, the phases of a test may differ while performing Web-based testing and other testing techniques, but principles remain the same.
