Project Description

Pentesting (penetration testing) refers to breaching an application or network to identify potential security risks. In a corporate scenario, external professionals hired to test the institution’s networks and software products usually perform this task. The goal is that, after rigorous pentesting, any discovered vulnerabilities will be patched.

There are many different kinds of vulnerabilities, and as such, various tools in a pentester’s arsenal can be used to probe for and exploit them. This project will focus on the versatile and powerful Metasploit Framework.
