Description

The second edition of the international bestseller Metasploit is written by some of the world's best hackers and is the only introduction you'll ever need to the legendary Framework.
Fully revised to include all new chapters on attacking cloud applications, industrial control systems, and recent vulnerabilities, you'll learn Metasploit's module system, conventions, and interfaces as you launch simulated attacks.

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.
