[THEME TUNE PLAYING]
Hello, everyone.
This is going to be the conclusion to the Metasploit
framework course.
And we're going to see or take a look
at how far you guys have come after completing this course.
So let's revisit the learning objectives
to get an idea of what you should actually know now
and what you can essentially do with the Metasploit framework.
Right?
So again, after completing this course,
you will have an understanding of how the Metasploit framework
works and how it's structured.
And of course, we went really deep into that,
and you should have a good understanding of how
the Metasploit framework comes together
and the various elements that make up the Metasploit
framework.
You'll also be comfortable with installing, configuring,
and managing your own Metasploit framework installation.
And that, of course, involves setting up the Metasploit
framework database, connecting to it, and of course, managing
your workspaces, which is very, very important.
You'll also be able to perform information gathering
and enumeration with the Metasploit framework,
as we already did.
We covered a lot during the information gathering section.
And we covered the various modules as well as third party
tools that you can utilize to gather as much information as
possible from your target, whether it be a Linux
system or a Windows system.
We also or you should also be comfortable
or you should have an idea of how to identify and exploit
vulnerabilities on both Windows and Linux targets
with the Metasploit framework.
So we explored the process of searching for and identifying
vulnerabilities within the Metasploit framework console.
We also explored the vulnerability scanning process
with Nessus as well as how to import your scans
into the Metasploit framework.
We learned how to identify the correct exploit modules
to use, how to load them up, how to configure them
with a payload, rather, the appropriate payload,
and how to launch them in order to obtain a Meterpreter
session.
We also explored the process of how to upgrade your Meterpreter
session.
And in regards to exploitation, we also
covered the process of generating and encoding
your own payloads for both Linux and Windows,
which was, again, quite a lot, and we
were able to actually cover a lot in that section.
So you should be really comfortable with generating
your own payloads, customizing your payloads,
injecting your payloads into executables,
transferring your payloads onto target systems,
et cetera, et cetera.
You should also be comfortable with post exploitation
with regards to the Metasploit framework.
So you should know how to perform post exploitation
on both Windows and Linux targets,
either through the use of Meterpreter
or through the use of the various post exploitation
modules afforded to you by the Metasploit framework
and of course, one of the key techniques that we highlighted
under the post exploitation was how to elevate your privileges
and how to dump hashes on both Windows and Linux operating
systems.
So it should be fairly comfortable with that.
And of course, all you need to do in order to become better
is keep on practicing, keep on trying
out various modules, post exploitation modules,
as well as exploring how the Meterpreter can be used
or extended to provide you with additional functionality
when conducting a penetration test.
And of course, you should be comfortable with utilizing
Armitage for information gathering,
port scanning enumeration, as well as exploitation and post
exploitation.
So Armitage was sort of like a bonus
to this particular course.
But I think it's very important that you learn how to use it,
because it is actually considered
part and parcel of the Metasploit framework itself.
And again, learning how to use it will only
improve your understanding of the Metasploit framework itself
and how you can, again, utilize it
to automate various aspects of various stages of a penetration
test.
All right.
So as I leave you at the end of this course,
you should now have a good understanding
of what the Metasploit framework is, where it came from,
where it's going, how to install and configure it,
and furthermore, how to utilize it to conduct a penetration
test, from information gathering,
all the way to exploitation and post exploitation.
So once again, thank you very much for joining in.
Thank you for actually enrolling into this course.
I hope you learned a lot.
We would love to hear your feedback in regards
to various ways we can improve further courses
or future courses.
And again, thank you for joining in the course.
And hopefully, I'll be seeing you in the next course.
And a huge thank you once again.
Bye bye.
