Hi everyone.
My name is Kevin Cardwell, and welcome to my course,
Perform Attacks with Metasploit.
I am the president of Cyber2Labs LLC,
and also I've worked as a freelance consultant for the past 16 years.
I have vast government and military experience prior
to my retirement from the US Navy.
In this course we're going to learn about the fascinating tool Metasploit,
and how you can attack machines using this powerful tool.
Metasploit is one of the most popular frameworks,
due to its versatility and capabilities.
Some of the major topics that we will cover include client‑side attacks,
how to deliver a malicious file to gain access to a machine,
post exploitation, you will learn the advanced methods of data extraction,
building persistent backdoors into your attack profile so the
machine continues to connect back to you,
components of Metasploit modules and methods of customization.
By the end of this course,
you'll know multiple intermediate to advanced methods of how to target machines,
then attack them using the Metasploit Framework. Before beginning the course,
you should be familiar with cybersecurity concepts and basic
networking. Familiarity with Metasploit is a plus as well.
I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn advanced
concepts and methods of deployment with the Perform Attacks
with Metasploit course, at Pluralsight.
