Summary
Throughout this chapter, we focused on speeding up penetration testing with Metasploit. We looked at the pushm
, popm
, loadpath
, reload
and edit
commands, which speed up development and testing procedures. We looked at creating resource scripts and making use of AutoRunScript
as well. We learned about setting global variables, automating payload generation, and exploit handler setup using SET.
In the next chapter, we will develop approaches to penetration testing with the most popular GUI tool for Metasploit, Armitage. We will also look at the basics of Cortana scripting and various other interesting attack vectors that we can conduct with Armitage.
