via Pluralsight

Overview

This course will teach you how to effectively use the Metasploit Framework for network scanning and reconnaissance, key components of penetration testing.

In this course, Scanning and Reconnaissance with Metasploit, you’ll learn how to conduct network scanning and reconnaissance using the Metasploit Framework, one of the most powerful tools for penetration testers. First, you’ll explore the different types of scanning modules available within Metasploit and learn how to differentiate between active and passive reconnaissance techniques. Next, you’ll discover how to identify live hosts and open ports using network discovery and enumeration tools. Finally, you’ll learn how to use Metasploit’s auxiliary modules to gather additional reconnaissance data and assess vulnerabilities. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to perform effective reconnaissance and scanning, essential components in the penetration testing process.
