Abstract
The Metasploit Framework (MSF) is a solid foundation that you can build on for penetration testing. You can also customize it according to your needs. It is considered by the community of ethical hackers as one of the most complete collections of exploits, and the Kali Linux makers believe that Metasploit is one of the most useful security auditing tools freely available to security professionals. It was first developed by H.D. Moore in 2001 using the Perl language; later, it was completely rewritten in Ruby, and the company Rapid7 acquired it.
