Metasploit: The Big Picture
Metasploit is a free, downloadable tool that makes it very easy to acquire, develop, and
launch exploits for computer software vulnerabilities. It ships with professional-grade
exploits for hundreds of known software vulnerabilities. When H.D. Moore released
Metasploit in 2003, it permanently changed the computer security scene. Suddenly, anyone
could become a hacker and everyone had access to exploits for unpatched and
recently patched vulnerabilities.
