6 Steps
Penetration
Perfection: Unlock The
Power of Metasploit
02

1. Set Up the
Environment
Install Metasploit:Download and install
Metasploit on your system. It is available for
Linux, Windows, and macOS.

Set Up the Target System:Prepare the


target system by ensuring it is connected to
the network and has the necessary services
running. This can be a virtual machine or a
physical system.
03

2. Reconnaissance
Network Discovery:Use tools like Nmap to
discover the target system's IP address,
operating system, and open ports.

OS Identification:Identify the operating


system of the target system using tools like
Nmap.

Vulnerability Scanning:Use tools like


Nessus to scan the target system for
vulnerabilities.
04

3. Exploitation

Select an Exploit Module:Use Metasploit's


search function to find an exploit module
that matches the identified vulnerability.

Configure the Exploit Module:Set the


necessary options for the exploit module,
such as the target IP address and port.

Launch the Exploit:Use the exploit


command to launch the exploit module.
05

4. Post-Exploitation
Meterpreter Shell:Once the exploit is successful,
you will get a Meterpreter shell. This shell allows
you to interact with the target system.

System Information:Use Meterpreter commands


to gather system information, such as the
operating system, user accounts, and network
interfaces.

File Access:Use Meterpreter commands to


access and manipulate files on the target
system.

Privilege Escalation:Use Meterpreter commands


to escalate privileges and gain SYSTEM
access.
06

5. Reporting

Evidence Collection:Use Meterpreter


commands to collect evidence of the
penetration test, such as screenshots and
logs.

Reporting:Use Metasploit's reporting


features to generate a comprehensive
report of the penetration test, including the
identified vulnerabilities and the actions
taken to exploit them.
07

6. Cleanup
Close the Meterpreter Shell:Use the exit
command to close the Meterpreter shell.

Remove Any Installed Payloads:Use


Meterpreter commands to remove any
payloads installed on the target system.

Restore the Target System:Restore the


target system to its original state to
prevent any potential damage.
08

Additional Tips
Use Virtual Machines:Use virtual machines
to conduct penetration tests to avoid any
potential damage to the target system.

Use a Sandbox Environment:Use a sandbox


environment to conduct penetration tests to
ensure that the target system is isolated
from the rest of the network.

Keep Your Skills Up-to-Date:Keep your skills


up-to-date by regularly practicing and
learning new techniques and tools.
