A guide to the this exploitation framework
Rated out of 5 stars, January 12th, 2008
Metasploit is one of the leading exploitation frameworks which give you the ability to use scripts already written and write your own for the purpose of testing exploitaion across your network.
This book tries to cover the basics of the framework and the different tools avaliable within it.
If you are serious about penetration testing or just want to learn what the hackers use this is an excellent introduction in the use of this ever expanding framework. I would of liked to have seen more coverage of creating your own Nasl Scripts and more emphasis on creating your own exploits.
