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.

In this chapter, we will look at various developing strategies to use while carrying out penetration tests on these services. In this chapter, we will cover the following points:

  • Understanding SCADA exploitation
  • The fundamentals of ICS and their critical nature
  • Carrying out database penetration tests
  • Testing VOIP services

Service-based penetration testing requires sharp skills and a good understanding of services that we can successfully exploit. Therefore, in this chapter, we will look...
