Metasploit vs. Mobile Security Framework (MobSF)

It is easy to use with sufficient documentation on how to use the tools for end users or newbies. Experienced testers will find it easy to customise and configure the test cases. Just wished that I could have taken up a course on using this tool in my study days so that I could had explored more and improved my familiarity with the tool, unlike when working where access and time to explore the other features of the tool is limited

MobSF is good for checking for vulnerabilities in your app. It will also give suggestions on how to address them. Another thing is can do is find code that may be incorrect. It is not, however, a substitute for a system that actually checks your code for proper use. It really is concentrated on security.

• Scanning our network for new or existing vulnerable systems.
• Automation of manual tests and exploits to allow what used to be days of effort to be squeezed into hours.
• Metasploit has become an integral part in our validation of new systems before their inclusion in our production network.

• Scan for vulnerabilities
• Scan for bad coding
• Give suggestions on fixes for security issues

• Have encountered issues with updating especially after moving from BackTrack to Kali.
• Sometimes it gets a little buggy, but that's a rare occurrence.

• The UI is not that user friendly
• The documentation could be easier to understand
• An easier method of deploying MobSF would be appreciated

We don't use it.

Metasploit is an all around good suite of tools to test and validate potential vulnerabilites. Other tools have bits and pecies such as Nmap, Nessus, Burp Suite, etc. but Metasploit can function in the same way but more.

In my opinion, MobSF is not as comprehensive as SonarQube. Both, however, do a very good job in scanning your code for vulnerabilities. Both do roughly the same things. The reports of SonarQube are more detailed though. The advantage that MobSF has over SonarQube is the price. One is free while the other is a paid solution (with several tiers). However, we use them together to get a more comprehensive scan.

• If you prevent an attack you will save a lot of money.
• There is a free version that has a lot of useful exploits.
• You can run it in an open source OS.

Incentivized

• It has allowed our apps to pass a security vetting requirement of a third party to deploy our app
• We can see where we can improve on the development of our app
• The deployment can take a while, especially with teams not familiar with the software
