Overview of this book

Metasploit is a popular penetration testing framework that has one of the largest exploit databases around. This book will show you exactly how to prepare yourself against the attacks you will face every day by simulating real-world possibilities. We start by reminding you about the basic functionalities of Metasploit and its use in the most traditional ways. You’ll get to know about the basics of programming Metasploit modules as a refresher, and then dive into carrying out exploitation as well building and porting exploits of various kinds in Metasploit. In the next section, you’ll develop the ability to perform testing on various services such as SCADA, databases, IoT, mobile, tablets, and many more services. After this training, we jump into real-world sophisticated scenarios where performing penetration tests are a challenge. With real-life case studies, we take you on a journey through client-side attacks using Metasploit and various scripts built on the Metasploit framework. By the end of the book, you will be trained specifically on time-saving techniques using Metasploit.

Chapter 3. The Exploit Formulation Process

"If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in" - Edsger W. Dijkstra

Exploit formulation is all about how exploits are made in Metasploit and what they are actually made of. In this chapter, we will cover various example vulnerabilities and we will try to develop approaches and methods to exploit these vulnerabilities. In addition to that, our primary focus will be on building exploit modules for Metasploit. We will also cover a wide variety of tools that will aid writing exploits in Metasploit. An important aspect of exploit writing is the computer architecture. If we do not cover the basics of the architecture, we will not be able to understand how things actually work. Therefore, Let's first start a discussion about the system architecture and the essentials required to write exploits.

By the end of this chapter, we will know more about the following topics:
