Metasploit Framework
This skill should be used when the user asks to "use Metasploit for penetration testing", "exploit vulnerabilities with msfconsole", "create payloads with msfvenom", "perform post-exploitation", "use auxiliary modules for scanning", or "develop custom exploits". It provides comprehensive guidance for leveraging the Metasploit Framework in security assessments.
Why this skill is useful
Provides detailed commands and workflows for using Metasploit, which are specific to penetration testing and not widely known.
What it needs
Requires metasploit, postgresql installed locally. About 7k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-06. 30,138 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
Metasploit Framework Purpose Leverage the Metasploit Framework for comprehensive penetration testing, from initial exploitation through post-exploitation activities. Metasploit provides a unified platform for vulnerability exploitation, payload generation, auxiliary scanning, and maintaining access to compromised systems during authorized security assessments. Prerequisites Required Tools Required Knowledge Network and system fundamentals Understanding of vulnerabilities and exploits Basic programming concepts Target enumeration techniques Required Access Written authorization for testing Network access to target systems Understanding of scope and rules of engagement Outputs and Deliverables 1. Exploitation Evidence - Screenshots and logs of successful compromises 2. Session Logs - Command history and extracted data 3. Vulnerability Mapping - Exploited vulnerabilities with CVE references 4. Post-Exploitation Artifacts - Credentials, files, and system information Core Workflow Phase 1: MSFConsole Basics Launch and navigate the Metasploit console: Phase 2: Module Types Understand the different module categories: Phase 3: Searching for Modules Find appropriate modules for targets: Phase 4: Configuring Exploits Set up an exploit for execution: Phase 5: Payload Types Select appropriate payload for the situation: Phase 6: Meterpreter Session Work with Meterpreter post-exploitation: Phase 7: Auxiliary Modules Use auxiliary modules for reconnaissance: Phase 8: Post-Exploitation Modules Run post modules on active sessions: Phase 9: Payload Generation with msfvenom Create standalone payloads: Phase 10: Setting Up Handlers Configure listener for incoming connections: Quick Reference Essential MSFConsole Commands Command Description --------- ------------- search [term] Search for modules use [module] Select a module info Display module information show options Show configurable options set [OPT] [val] Set option value setg [OPT] [val] Set global option run / exploit Execute mo …
