The new and improved guide to penetration testing using the legendary Metasploit Framework.

Metasploit: The Penetration Tester’s Guide has been the definitive security assessment resource for over a decade. The Metasploit Framework makes discovering, exploiting, and sharing vulnerabilities quick and relatively painless, but using it can be challenging for newcomers.

Written by renowned ethical hackers and industry experts, this fully updated second edition includes:

Advanced Active Directory and cloud penetration testing
Modern evasion techniques and payload encoding
Malicious document generation for client-side exploitation
Coverage of recently added modules and commands

Starting with Framework essentials—exploits, payloads, Meterpreter, and auxiliary modules—you’ll progress to advanced methodologies aligned with the Penetration Test Execution Standard (PTES). Through real-world examples and simulated penetration tests, you’ll:

Conduct network reconnaissance and analyze vulnerabilities
Execute wireless network and social engineering attacks
Perform post-exploitation techniques, including privilege escalation
Develop custom modules in Ruby and port existing exploits
Use MSFvenom to evade detection
Integrate with Nmap, Nessus, and the Social-Engineer Toolkit

Whether you’re a cybersecurity professional, ethical hacker, or IT administrator, this second edition of Metasploit: The Penetration Tester’s Guide is your key to staying ahead in the ever-evolving threat landscape.
