We learned the basics of Metasploit in the Chapter 1, Getting Started with Metasploit. Let us now shift our focus to an essential aspect of every penetration test, that is, the scanning phase. One of the most critical aspects of penetration testing, the scanning phase involves identification of various software and services running on the target, hence, making it the most time consuming and the most crucial aspect of a professional penetration test. They say, and I quote, "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles". If you want to gain access to the target by exploiting vulnerable software, the first step for you to take is to figure out if a particular version of the software is running on the target. The scanning and identification should be conducted thoroughly, so that you don&apos...

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.
