This is the first book available for the Metasploit Framework (MSF),
which is the attack platform of choice for one of the fastest growing
careers in IT security: Penetration Testing. The book and companion Web
site will provide professional penetration testers and security
researchers with a fully integrated suite of tools for discovering,
running, and testing exploit code. This book discusses how to use the
Metasploit Framework (MSF) as an exploitation platform. The book begins
with a detailed discussion of the three MSF interfaces: msfweb,
msfconsole, and msfcli .This chapter demonstrates all of the features
offered by the MSF as an exploitation platform. With a solid
understanding of MSFs capabilities, the book then details techniques for
dramatically reducing the amount of time required for developing
functional exploits. By working through a real-world vulnerabilities
against popular closed source applications, the reader will learn how to
use the tools and MSF to quickly build reliable attacks as standalone
exploits. The section will also explain how to integrate an exploit
directly into the Metasploit Framework by providing a line-by-line
analysis of an integrated exploit module. Details as to how the
Metasploit engine drives the behind-the-scenes exploitation process will
be covered, and along the way the reader will come to understand the
advantages of exploitation frameworks. The final section of the book
examines the Meterpreter payload system and teaches readers to develop
completely new extensions that will integrate fluidly with the
Metasploit Framework.

?A November 2004 survey conducted by "CSO Magazine" stated that 42% of
chief security officers considered penetration testing to be a security
priority for their organizations

?The Metasploit Framework is the most popular open source exploit
platform, and there are no competing books

?The book's companion Web site offers all of the working code and
exploits contained within the book
