Description

Metasploit¬Æ software helps security and IT professionals identify security issues, verify vulnerability mitigations, and manage expert-driven 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 pre-exploitation to the post-exploitation 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. The book goes deep into operating systems-based penetration testing techniques and moves ahead with client-based exploitation methodologies. In the post- exploitation phase, it covers meterpreter, antivirus bypass, ruby wonders, exploit building, porting exploits to framework, and third party tools like armitage, and SET. Metasploit Penetration Testing Cookbook is the required guide to penetration testing and exploitation.

Metasploit penetration testing cookbook is a must have for security professionals and new learners of metasploit framework.The book is easy to grasp and flows from beginner to advance level smoothly. The reason which makes it a better guide is that it targets latest operating systems and also gives a detailed analysis of different exploit codes used in penetration testing. The book also coveres extra topics like Armitage, SET etc which further addes more power to the content of this book. To summerize, the book is a very handy guide to mastering the metasploit framework.

perfect in every aspect for some one avid enough to have found this program, but not necessarily know anything about it, written in easy to understand language and broken down nicely

Overview: Singh provides an introduction to the widely used Metasploit framework in the form of seventy plus recipes for various penetration testing tasks. In a previous blog, I reviewed Dave Kennedy's Metasploit book. Both texts are well written. The format is different, however. Singh's book is written in a cookbook style which makes it easy to refer to it when attempting specific tasks. Kennedy's book is written in a more traditional style with an introduction and then survey of various aspects of Metasploit. The differences between these two books extends beyond format. Singh's book goes beyond a basic coverage of Metasploit and covers additional penetration testing tools such as various scanners and evasion tools. So which book should you buy if you had to pick just one? To me it mostly comes down to personal preference. If you are just learning Metasploit, either should be a great aid in this process. If you want a book you can refer back to later, the Singh book may be slightly more convenient. The publisher may also be a consideration. The Kennedy book is published by No Starch Press, whereas Singh's book is published by Packt. If you like eBooks you may prefer books from Packt Publishing. Packt provides DRM-free books in both PDF and ePub formats. This can be extremely convenient if you like to read your books on multiple devices. Personally I find myself reading books on my tablet and also keeping a copy on my penetration testing platform as a reference. Here is a brief table of contents for Singh's book:Chapter 1: Metasploit Quick Tips for Security Professionals covering: configuration, installation, basic use, and storing results in a databaseChapter 2: Information Gathering and Scanning covering: passive and active gathering, social engineering, scanning, Nessus, NeXpose, and DradisChapter 3: Operating System-based Vulnerability Assessment covering: exploits, Windows XP, remote shells, Windows 2003, Windows 7, Linux, and DLL injectionChapter 4: Client-side Exploitation and Antivirus bypass covering: IE, Word, Adobe Reader, payloads, and killing anti-virusChapter 5: Using Meterpreter to Explore the Compromised Target covering: Meterpreter commands, privilege escalation, communication channels, and snooping on Windows targetsChapter 6: Advanced Meterpreter Scripting covering: hash dumps, back doors, pivoting, Railgun, pivoting, and killing firewallsChapter 7: Working with Modules for Penetration Testing covering: Auxiliary modules, admin modules, SQL injection, post-exploitation, and creating new modulesChapter 8: Working with Exploits covering: mixins, msfvenum, going from exploit to Metasploit module, and fuzzingChapter 9: Working with Armitage covering: Getting started, information gathering, and targeting multiple machinesChapter 10: Social Engineering Toolkit covering: Installation, configuration, spear-phishing, website attacks, and infectious media generationTo summarize, if you are looking for a Metasploit book in cookbook format than this book would be a good choice.cross-posted from [..]
