Metasploit

Metasploit is a powerful, open-source framework widely used in cybersecurity for penetration testing and developing exploit code. It allows security professionals to identify, exploit, and validate vulnerabilities across various platforms, including web applications, networks, and databases. Metasploit comes with an extensive library of exploit modules, payloads, and auxiliary tools, enabling users to simulate attacks in a controlled environment. This helps organizations assess security gaps before they can be exploited in real-world attacks, making Metasploit a staple for vulnerability assessment and ethical hacking.
