Exploitation with Metasploit

Explain what Metasploit is using non-technical terms.

Metasploit is like a toolbox for cybersecurity experts. Imagine it as a set of tools that helps them test and secure computer systems. These experts use Metasploit to find weaknesses and vulnerabilities in a computer system, just like how a locksmith might use different tools to check if a lock is secure.

Metasploit provides a range of techniques and tools to simulate cyberattacks, but the goal is not to cause harm. Instead, it's used by ethical hackers and security professionals to identify and fix security problems before real cybercriminals can exploit them.
