The Metasploit Framework makes discovering, exploiting, and sharing systemic vulnerabilities quick and painless. But this popular pentesting tool can be hard to grasp for first-time users. Metasploit fills the gap by teaching readers how to harness the Framework and interact with the vibrant community of Metasploit open-source contributors. The guide's updated second edition introduces contemporary modules and commands recently added to the Metasploit Framework, and new chapters on cloud penetration testing using the Cloud Lookup and Bypass module, as well as attacking IoT and SCADA systems using the Mobius Client Module.

Readers will learn the Framework's conventions, interfaces, and module system as they launch simulated attacks. The book also covers advanced pentesting techniques, including network reconnaissance and enumeration, client-side attacks, wireless attacks, and targeted social-engineering attacks. In an ecosystem increasingly driven by cloud-based and industrial attacks, these modern skills are essential for today's penetration testers.
