What Is Metasploit? How Do I Use It to Test Project Security?
summary
A practical demo of using Metasploit together with Nmap and Ettercap to scan, fingerprint and exploit live targets, showing a full chain from discovery to obtaining a shell and running post‑exploit commands. The walkthrough uses msfconsole to select an exploit, set RHOST and payload, exploits a Windows host via a port 445 compromise, runs sysinfo and other post‑exploit modules, demonstrates sniffing and credential capture, notes a Metasploit exploit corpus of ~38,000, and finishes with remediation advice: patch the OS, restrict ports, and use VPN/Cloudflare.
