Metasploit Feature Overview
Metasploit is a powerful platform that helps defenders prevent data breaches by efficiently prioritizing vulnerabilities, verifying remediation, and conducting penetration tests.
Largest public collection of quality-assured exploits
Metasploit leverages the world's largest public database of quality assured exploits and payloads, making your penetration tests both realistic and safe to simulate attacks on your infrastructure.
Streamlined workflow in a graphical user interface
Metasploit simplifies usability and greatly streamlines the workflow of penetration testers and security experts in a step-by-step model, helping you complete your assignments in less time.
Extensive attack targets
Metasploit enables you to compromise standard and custom Web applications, network devices, database servers, endpoint systems, and email users, broadening your range of attack vectors.
Advanced attack capabilities
Metasploit offers workflows for network scanning, smart brute forcing and exploitation, social engineering, all amplified with shell and VPN pivoting as well as stealth features, enabling you to get deeper into the network.
Team collaboration for large projects
Metasploit enables teams to collaborate on larger projects. Team members can see and search each other's action, progress, and notes to make Red Team efforts more efficient. Metasploit can scale to hundreds of concurrent sessions and thousands of target hosts to support team efforts.
Automated reports for all stakeholders
Metasploit includes reports with detailed vulnerabilities descriptions, remediation information and customized design templates, making it easier for you to report your findings and for your company to document compliance.
