Overview of this book

<p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">This course will begin by introducing you to Metasploit and its functionality. Next, you will learn how to set up and configure Metasploit on various platforms to create a virtual test environment. You will also get your hands on various tools and components used by Metasploit. Further, in the video, you will learn how to find weaknesses in the target system and hunt for vulnerabilities using Metasploit and its supporting tools. Next, you'll get hands-on experience carrying out client-side attacks. Moving on, you'll learn about web application security scanning and bypassing anti-virus and clearing traces on the target system post-compromise. This video will also keep you updated with the latest security techniques and methods that can be directly applied to scan, test, hack, and secure networks and systems with Metasploit. By the end of this course, you'll get the hang of bypassing different defences, after which you'll learn how hackers use the network to gain access to different systems.</span></p> <h2><span class="sugar_field">Style and Approach</span></h2> <p><span class="sugar_field"><span id="trade_selling_points_c" class="sugar_field">This tutorial is packed with step-by-step instructions that are useful for those getting started with Metasploit.

Section 1
Setting Up a Vulnerable Application
We need to set up a test application environment in which we can fire our tests. As we know that metasploitable2 is a Linux distribution that is deliberately made vulnerable. It also contains web applications that are intentionally made vulnerable, and we can leverage this to practice using Metasploit's web scanning modules. - Configure the IP - Access it remotely from any web browser
