Metasploit Penetration Testing Cookbook,Used

Over 70 recipes to master the most widely used penetration testing framework More than 80 recipes/practicaltasks that will escalate the reader's knowledge from beginner to an advanced level Special focus on the latest operating systems, exploits, and penetration testing techniques Detailed analysis of third party tools based on the Metasploit framework to enhance the penetration testing experienceIn DetailMetasploit software helps security and IT professionals identify security issues, verify vulnerability mitigations, and manage expertdriven security assessments. Capabilities include smart exploitation, password auditing, web application scanning, and social engineering. Teams can collaborate in Metasploit and present their findings in consolidated reports. The goal of the software is to provide a clear understanding of the critical vulnerabilities in any environment and to manage those risks.Metasploit Penetration Testing Cookbook targets both professionals and beginners to the framework. The chapters of the book are logically arranged with an increasing level of complexity and cover Metasploit aspects ranging from preexploitation to the postexploitation phase thoroughly. The recipe structure of the book provides a good mix of both theoretical understanding and practical implementation.This book will help readers in thinking from a hacker's perspective to dig out the flaws in target networks and also to leverage the powers of Metasploit to compromise them. It will take your penetration skills to the next level.The book starts with the basics such as gathering information about your target and gradually covers advanced topics like building your own framework scripts and modules.
