The new and improved guide to penetration testing using the legendary Metasploit Framework.

The Metasploit Framework makes discovering, exploiting, and sharing systemic vulnerabilities quick and painless. But, this popular pentesting tool can be hard to grasp for first-time users.

Foundational pentesting techniques, including network reconnaissance and enumeration
The Metasploit Framework's conventions, interfaces, and module system
Client-side attacks, wireless exploits, and targeted social-engineering attacks
Methods of creating custom modules and porting existing exploits to the Framework

In a fast-paced digital ecosystem, the modern hacking techniques covered in Metasploit, 2nd Edition are essential for today's penetration testers.
