An essential requirement for protecting any organization’s computer and network systems from adversarial attack is finding the vulnerabilities in those systems before the bad guys do.
In this course, cybersecurity expert Ric Messier shows you how to use Metasploit, the open source, multi-platform (Linux, Windows, Mac OS) exploit framework deployed by systems administrators and security engineers everywhere to spot those vulnerabilities.
You’ll learn how to download, install, and configure the software; how to extend Metasploit; how to perform system reconnaissance and vulnerability identification missions; how to use exploits; and the basics of social engineering attacks, such as phishing and site cloning.
