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. Following real-world case studies, this book will take you on a journey through client-side attacks using Metasploit and various scripts built on the Metasploit 5.0 framework. By the end of the book, you’ll have developed the skills you need to work confidently with efficient exploitation techniques

Metasploit and Arduino – the deadly combination

Arduino-based microcontroller boards are tiny and unusual pieces of hardware that can act as lethal weapons when it comes to penetration testing. Some Arduino boards support keyboard and mouse libraries, which means that they can serve as HID (Human Interface Device) devices:

Figure 7.18 – An Arduino device

Therefore, these little Arduino boards can stealthily perform human actions such as typing keys, moving and clicking with a mouse, and many other things. In this section, we will emulate an Arduino Pro Micro board as a keyboard to download and execute our malicious payload from a remote site. However, note that these little boards do not have enough memory to store the payload, so a download is required on the system.

The Arduino Pro Micro costs less than $4 on popular shopping sites such as https://www.aliexpress.com/. Therefore, it is much cheaper to use Arduino Pro Micro rather than Teensy...
