Metasploit is a popular penetration testing framework and has one of the largest exploit databases around. It is an essential tool in the penetration tester's arsenal which is used by White Hat, and by Black Hat, hackers.

With this step-by-step guide & practical guide, you'll first begin with configuring Metasploit on various platforms to discover weaknesses in the target system and hunt for vulnerabilities. Then, you'll learn about web application security scanning & bypassing anti-virus & clearing traces on the target system after penetrating into the target. Next, you'll explore how exploits and payloads work together to gain access to systems. Moving further you'll learn to attack a remote machine using a group of exploits to gain complete access using Metasploit commands & latest Kali tools.

By the end of this course, you'll be an expert in using Metasploit to quickly assess the security posture of systems and networks to reduce the risk of attack.

Contents and Overview

This training program includes 4 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, Learning Metasploit 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.

The second course, Beginning Metasploit teaches you the practical implementation of Metasploit. Each section will get you started with Metasploit by enumerating available services, identifying potential weaknesses, and testing vulnerabilities through exploitation. The course will show you how to correctly configure Metasploit and how to troubleshoot potential errors. You will scan the different services to identify vulnerabilities. Finally, you will explore sophisticated, real-world scenarios where performing penetration tests is a challenge. By the end of this course, you will be able to use Metasploit to quickly assess the security structure of systems and networks to reduce risk.

The third course, Hands-On Penetration Testing with Metasploit you'll learn how to use Metasploit to enumerate services, identify potential weaknesses, test vulnerabilities through exploitation, and gather evidence for reporting. First, you'll explore several supporting tools on Kali Linux. Next, you'll explore how exploits and payloads work together to gain access to systems. Finally, you'll learn how Metasploit Framework works. By the end of this course, you'll have a better understanding of how to use Metasploit to quickly assess the security posture of systems and networks to reduce the risk of attack.

The fourth course, Hands-on Web Penetration Testing with Metasploit 4.x teaches you the practical implementation of Metasploit. Each section will get you started with Metasploit by enumerating available services, identifying potential weaknesses, and testing vulnerabilities through exploitation. The course will show you how to correctly configure Metasploit and how to troubleshoot potential errors. You will scan the different services to identify vulnerabilities. Finally, you will explore sophisticated, real-world scenarios where performing penetration tests is a challenge. By the end of this course, you will be able to use Metasploit to quickly assess the security structure of systems and networks to reduce risk.
