The metalanguage that's used for Microsoft Word was designed to be as simple as possible while still serving enough features that it was possible to create a basic penetration test report. It is a language that is used for creating custom templates in Serpico (as defined in their GitHub repository). To learn more about metalanguage in Serpico, please refer to https://github.com/SerpicoProject/Serpico/wiki/Serpico-Meta-Language-In-Depth.

A generic penetration testing report should include the vulnerability name, vulnerability description, affected endpoint, steps of reproduction (proof of concept), business impact, remediation, and references.

Overview of this book
Metasploit has been a crucial security tool for many years. However, there are only a few modules that Metasploit has made available to the public for pentesting web applications. In this book, you'll explore another aspect of the framework – web applications – which is not commonly used. You'll also discover how Metasploit, when used with its inbuilt GUI, simplifies web application penetration testing.
The book starts by focusing on the Metasploit setup, along with covering the life cycle of the penetration testing process. Then, you will explore Metasploit terminology and the web GUI, which is available in the Metasploit Community Edition. Next, the book will take you through pentesting popular content management systems such as Drupal, WordPress, and Joomla, which will also include studying the latest CVEs and understanding the root cause of vulnerability in detail. Later, you'll gain insights into the vulnerability assessment and exploitation of technological platforms such as JBoss, Jenkins, and Tomcat. Finally, you'll learn how to fuzz web applications to find logical security vulnerabilities using third-party tools.
By the end of this book, you'll have a solid understanding of how to exploit and validate vulnerabilities by working with various tools and techniques.
