Metasploit is a penetration testing framework that makes hacking simple. It’s an essential tool for many attackers and defenders. The framework is modular and easily extensible and enjoys an active community. It integrates seamlessly with Nmap, SNMP scanning and Windows patch enumeration, among others. For example, NSA’s EternalBlue exploit, released by the Shadow Brokers in 2017, has been packaged for MetasPloit and is a reliable go-to when dealing with legacy Windows systems.”]
