Metasploit

The Metasploit Framework is the world’s most popular open source exploit development and penetration testing platform.

As the Metasploit Project sponsor, the Rapid7's Metasploit team, along with the open source community, are continuously expanding the exploit library and creating a broader platform with publicly available exploits, helping organizations to stay ahead of the changing threat landscape.

The Metasploit Framework allows:

• Network security professionals to perform penetration tests
• System administrators to verify patch installations
• Software developers to perform regression testing

The Metasploit Framework enables you to:

• Distinguish real threats from false positives to speed and simplify remediation
• Prioritize penetration tests based on automated vulnerability scans
• Pinpoint exploitable vulnerabilities in networks, operating systems, Web applications and databases
• Add standard and custom exploits for pen-testing real-time
