Metasploit

Explain what Metasploit is using non-technical terms.

  • Metasploit is an open-source suite of tools that automate many of the functions of conducting pen testing, which saves significant time from having to create and modify scripts for each test and system you want to test. It can simplify actions such as gathering info, gaining access, delivering payloads, maintaining persistence and evading detection.
