Overview of this book

Updated for the latest version of Metasploit, this book will prepare you to face everyday cyberattacks by simulating real-world scenarios. Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts and practical examples, Mastering Metasploit will help you gain insights into programming Metasploit modules and carrying out exploitation, as well as building and porting various kinds of exploits in Metasploit. Giving you the ability to perform tests on different services, including databases, IoT, and mobile, this Metasploit book will help you get to grips with real-world, sophisticated scenarios where performing penetration tests is a challenge. You'll then learn a variety of methods and techniques to evade security controls deployed at a target's endpoint. As you advance, you’ll script automated attacks using CORTANA and Armitage to aid penetration testing by developing virtual bots and discover how you can add custom functionalities in Armitage.

Understanding Metasploit modules

Let's dig deeper into the process of writing a module. Metasploit has various modules, such as payloads, encoders, exploits, NOP generators, auxiliaries, and the latest additions, which are the evasion modules. In this section, we will cover the essentials of developing a module; then, we will look at how we can create our custom modules. We will discuss the development of auxiliary and post-exploitation modules. Additionally, we will cover core exploit modules in the next chapter. However, for this chapter, let's examine the essentials of module building in detail.

Metasploit module building in a nutshell

Before diving deep into building modules, let's understand how components are arranged in the Metasploit Framework, and what they do.

The architecture of the Metasploit Framework

Metasploit contains various components, such as necessary libraries, modules, plugins, and tools. A diagrammatic view of the structure of Metasploit...
