Metasploit is an Open Source Penetration Testing Framework created by Rapid7 that enables security professionals to simulate attacks against computer systems, networks, and applications.
The Metasploit Framework is a Ruby-based, modular penetration testing platform that enables you to write, test, and execute exploit code. The Metasploit Framework contains a suite of tools that you can use to test security vulnerabilities, enumerate networks, execute attacks, and evade detection.
Metasploit is the world's most used penetration testing tool. Uncover weaknesses in your defenses, focus on the right risks, and improve security.
A collaboration between the open source community and Rapid7, Metasploit helps security teams do more than just verify vulnerabilities, manage security assessments, and improve security awareness; it empowers and arms defenders to always stay one step (or two) ahead of the game.
Metasploit runs on Unix (including Linux and macOS) and on Windows. The Metasploit Framework can be extended to use add-ons in multiple languages. To choose an exploit and payload, some information about the target system is needed, such as operating system version and installed network services.
Utilizing an ever-growing database of exploits maintained by the security community, Metasploit helps you safely simulate real-world attacks on your network to train your team to spot and stop the real thing.

Metasploit helps us find and fix weaknesses before malicious actors exploit them. In this tutorial, you’ll learn what Metasploit is, why it’s useful, and how to use it.
Metasploit helps you in generating a wide variety of payloads that you can send to the target in multiple ways to perform any task. In the process, it is quite possible that your payload gets detected by any of the security software present on the target system or antivirus software.
