Now we'll start talking about the Metasploit framework, which is an open source penetration testing
and the development platform program in Ruby that provides exploits for a variety of applications and
operating systems.
Metasploit is one of the most commonly used penetration testing tools in the world.
This exploitation framework consists of a group of tools and utilities put together to conduct security
audits.
This security vulnerabilities enumerate the networks and evade detection or hex systems.
It can be used by both white and black pickers because Metasploit is launching real, not simulated
attacks.
In this lecture, I'll show you how to start and update the Metasploit framework.
If you are using Kali Linux and I advise you to use it.
Metasploit is part of Kali.
We started by simply executing MSF console in a terminal.
MSF console is the most popular interface to the Metasploit framework.
It provides an all in one centralised console and allows you efficient access to virtually all of the
options available in the Metasploit framework.
Let's launch it.
It has started successfully.
Let's move on and see how to update Metasploit.
This is especially important because the Metasploit team is continuously releasing improvements and
exploits for new vulnerabilities.
As you can see, this is Metasploit Castle version 6.1. 27 and there are 2196 exploits available.
Until recently, we could simply update Metasploit to the latest version by executing a massive update.
I'm running it myself.
Update.
But as you can see, Metasploit now these points that the command is no longer supported when Metasploit
is part of an operating system such as Kali.
And to operate it, we need to use the API package manager.
So to update it, i'm running sudo apt update ampersand and percent sudo apt to install metasploit framework.
And the best are these kali.
By the way, app to install is installing or updating the package.
Two weeks later the version.
I'm typing.
Why?
Downloading and installing the latest version of Metasploit.
It was updated and I'm starting MSF council again.
You know the other terminology, I'm exiting the previous Metasploit console in time.
We're starting it again.
This is the latest version of Metasploit, which is version 6.1. 39.
