That covers the more advanced topics in the Metasploit framework.
Let's review what we learned. As we use the Metasploit framework more,
we will find new ways to be more efficient with it.
I introduced just a few of the capabilities available
in the framework that will help.
First, we focused on managing the data that we'll be gathering during testing.
We looked at ways of utilizing the workspaces to create
isolated sets of project or target data.
We looked at how to import data from other tools and
exporting it out for sharing and archiving. Tagging hosts
allowed us to group related targets.
Next we looked at managing sessions,
which are our connections back to the targets that we compromised.
We may have multiple open sessions and need to switch between them.
We also learned how to use post modules with sessions
and in sessions no longer needed.
Finally,
we looked at the techniques for repeating and automating pieces
of our workflow. Using the scripting capabilities and the
available scripts in the framework,
we are able to be more efficient and productive in our testing work.
We are nearing the end of the course,
so next up we'll look at resources available and ways to continue your learning.
