Metasploit is an open source framework used in penetration testing and cybersecurity, allowing security testers to perform exploits and test the defenses of systems and networks. It features a huge database of discovered vulnerabilities, allowing users to simulate real attacks to assess security. Metasploit provides powerful tools such as Meterpreter, which gives an attacker full control over the targeted system after a successful exploit, in addition to its support for Ruby programming, which allows customizing attacks and creating new attack tools. Metasploit is widely used in cybersecurity to gather information, test protection systems, and analyze the vulnerability of networks to various attacks. To protect against the exploits it relies on, it is recommended to update systems regularly, close unnecessary ports, and use security solutions such as EDR and IDS/IPS to detect and prevent any unauthorized exploit attempts.
