Introduction to Metasploit

This tutorial introduces the Metasploit framework, a popular open-source tool for security professionals. It covers the basic structure, including its main modules: payloads, exploits, encoders, knobs, and auxiliary functions. The video explains vulnerabilities, exploits, and shellcode, and demonstrates how to run Metasploit on Kali Linux. It also provides an overview of Metasploit's core libraries and guides users on using commands to search and execute exploits and payloads.
