Metasploit

Metasploit is a powerful tool used in cybersecurity for penetration testing, which means testing the security of computer systems. It helps security professionals identify vulnerabilities by simulating attacks, allowing them to find weaknesses before malicious hackers do. Metasploit contains a library of "exploits" or methods to take advantage of these vulnerabilities. By using this tool, organizations can strengthen their defenses and improve their overall security posture. Essentially, it’s like a toolkit for ethical hackers to ensure systems are safe from actual cyber threats.
