- Enhance your ethical hacking skills by performing penetration tests in
highly secure environments
Book Description
Updated for the latest version of Metasploit, this book will prepare you
to face everyday cyberattacks by simulating real-world scenarios.
Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts and
practical examples, Mastering Metasploit will help you gain insights
into programming Metasploit modules and carrying out exploitation, as
well as building and porting various kinds of exploits in Metasploit.
Giving you the ability to perform tests on different services, including
databases, IoT, and mobile, this Metasploit book will help you get to
grips with real-world, sophisticated scenarios where performing
penetration tests is a challenge. You'll then learn a variety of methods
and techniques to evade security controls deployed at a target's
endpoint. As you advance, you'll script automated attacks using CORTANA
and Armitage to aid penetration testing by developing virtual bots and
discover how you can add custom functionalities in Armitage. Following
real-world case studies, this book will take you on a journey through
client-side attacks using Metasploit and various scripts built on the
Metasploit 5.0 framework.
By the end of the book, you'll have developed the skills you need to
work confidently with efficient exploitation techniques
What you will learn
- Develop advanced and sophisticated auxiliary, exploitation, and
post-exploitation modules
- Learn to script automated attacks using CORTANA
- Test services such as databases, SCADA, VoIP, and mobile devices
- Attack the client side with highly advanced pentesting techniques
- Bypass modern protection mechanisms, such as antivirus, IDS, and
firewalls
- Import public exploits to the Metasploit Framework
- Leverage C and Python programming to effectively evade endpoint
protection
Who this book is for
If you are a professional penetration tester, security engineer, or law
enforcement analyst with basic knowledge of Metasploit, this book will
help you to master the Metasploit framework and guide you in developing
your exploit and module development skills. Researchers looking to add
their custom functionalities to Metasploit will find this book useful.
As Mastering Metasploit covers Ruby programming and attack scripting
using Cortana, practical knowledge of Ruby and Cortana is required.
