Metasploit 2Nd Edition

Fully revised to include all new chapters on attacking cloud applications, industrial control systems, and recent vulnerabilities, you'll learn Metasploit's module system, conventions, and interfaces as you launch simulated attacks. The Metasploit Framework makes discovering, exploiting, and sharing systemic vulnerabilities quick and painless. But, this popular pentesting tool can be hard to grasp for first-time users. Written by some of the world's top hackers and security experts, Metasploit fills the gap by teaching you how to best harness the Framework and interact with its vibrant community of Metasploit open-source contributors.  This indispensable guide's updated second edition introduces modules and commands recently added to the Metasploit Framework, along with new chapters on the Cloud Lookup (and Bypass) module and attacking IoT or SCADA (industrial) systems using the Mobius client module. You'll learn: modern pentesting techniques, including network reconnaissance and enumeration, the Metasploit Framework's conventions, interfaces, and module system, client-side attacks, wireless exploits, targeted social-engineering attacks. In a digital ecosystem increasingly driven by cloud-based and industrial attacks, the modern hacking techniques covered in Metasploit, 2nd Edition are essential for today's penetration testers.
