The fundamentals of Metasploit

Now that we have recalled the essential phases of a penetration test and installed Metasploit, let's talk about the big picture; that is, Metasploit. Metasploit is a security project that provides exploits and tons of reconnaissance features to aid any penetration tester. Metasploit was created by H.D. Moore back in 2003, and since then, its rapid development has led it to be recognized as one of the most popular penetration testing tools available. Metasploit was a natively Ruby-driven project, but with its latest releases, it has started to support Python and Go modules as well. Metasploit offers various exploits, post exploits, and auxiliary, scanner, evasion, and exploit development tools.

With the release of Metasploit 5, a number of new capabilities have been added to Metasploit, some of which are as follows:

Evasion modules
The Automation API
