Metasploit Framework

The Metasploit Project is an open source project that provides a public resource for researching security vulnerabilities and developing code that allows a network administrator to break into his own network to identify security risks and document which vulnerabilities need to be addressed first.

The Metasploit Project offers penetration (pen) testing software and provides tools for automating the comparison of a program's vulnerability and its repaired (patched) version. Anti-forensic and advanced evasion tools are also offered, some of them built into the Metasploit Framework.

The basic steps for exploiting a system using the Framework include:

Choosing and configuring an exploit (code that enters a target system by taking advantage of one of its bugs; about 900 different exploits for Windows, Unix/Linux and Mac OS X systems are included)

Optionally checking whether the intended target system is susceptible to the chosen exploit

Choosing and configuring a payload (code that will be executed on the target system upon successful entry; for instance, a remote shell or a VNC server)

Choosing the encoding technique so that the intrusion-prevention system (IPS) ignores the encoded payload

Executing the exploit
