Good Tool for VAPT
Metasploit is used by my organization to identify system weakness and attempt to exploit them to demonstrate the weakness. It is an easy tool used by the security team to identify, isolate, and demonstrate the weakness and allow for verification of the remediations. As an industry-recognized tool, there is no dispute from different vendors when using the tool.
- Test known exploits
- Segregated workspaces for different projects
- Updated databases of exploits
- Improve dashboard to allow C levels to better understand the concerns
- Exporting the results or integrate with reporting tools
- Options to manage the payloads

Auditing with Metasploit
Well we use Metasploit in two areas of the company. Intern audit and security of systems to test network security, the applications and some other technologies of IT and OT. By knowing the most common exploits and hacking techniques we improve the controls in order to mitigate the risks and better understand the anatomy of an attack.
- Easy to use.
- Many exploits available.
- Multi-platform.
- Some exploits need a bit of intervention to work.

Verify and learn with Metasploit
I have used Metasploit in my current and past positions to validate vulnerabilities found in other scanners and to run additional scans and tests not found by a vulnerability scanner. Metasploit is also very good for server hardening by allowing full testing before deployment.
- Vulnerability exploiting
- Tool integration such as with Nmap
- Very intuitive interface and searching
- More robust menus
- Better plugin inter-operation

Metasploit - Pen Testing at it's easiest
I regularly use the Metasploit framework to run our internal security tests. It helps to identify possible weaknesses in our internal network before compromise occurs. It's also on many occasions helped me justify sometimes costly updates to software and business practices by allowing me to illustrate a vulnerability's possible use in the wild.
- 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.
- The use of Metasploit in an active environment is scary. The chance of damage to targeted systems increases exponentially as the experience of the user goes down. In some ways, I feel Metasploit has made an industry we all need to stay difficult, accessible to anyone.
- Exploit updates for the last couple of years have slowed down as the use cases for Metasploit have changed. With so much of the program being driven by the paid versions since the Rapid7 purchase, they really could do with some official exploit support instead of leaning on the public community so hard.
- Windows versions feel like an afterthought, performance differences are staggering. Run Linux for this one.

The most important one to get the job done!
Metasploit Pro is currently being used by the IT security department only and is one of the best tools we've ever used.
- It's extremely intuitive. When I started off in the security field this tool helped me learn a lot.
- Metasploit, I believe has the largest exploit database with new additions everyday and implementation is really fast.
- I along with a lot of security professionals I know, consider Metasploit to be the most valued tool in any penetration tester's arsenal.
- There is a H-U-G-E community and the support is immense, any issues you have can be addressed there. Doesn't matter if you're a newbie or a seasoned penetration tester, everyone is welcome.
- Have encountered issues with updating especially after moving from BackTrack to Kali.
- Sometimes it gets a little buggy, but that's a rare occurrence.

Metasploit Unleashed - Organized Collaborative Pentesting
Metasploit is one of the commonly used frameworks inside of our network security department. Our teams are able to use Metasploit's workspace system to work collaboratively on large, comprehensive network penetration tests. Metasploit helps to launch payloads and to gather and store information about systems.
- Workspaces: Metasploit allows for the creation of "workspaces," which allow for shared and collaborative penetration testing.
- Information management: Metasploit stores and displays detailed information about devices and networks that would otherwise be difficult to manage.
- Community driven: Many developers from all over the world contribute to Metasploit. This helps to keep it functioning well and up-to-date.
- If Metasploit could support payloads written in languages other than Ruby, that would be amazing and could help draw in a larger set of contributors.
