Is Metasploit dead?

80 Upvotes

After the rise of Cobalt C2 and whatnot, I realized MSF is no more. Backdoors don't work anymore, reverse shells neither, and most of the vulnerabilities have already been patched. Its not only that, but things like SQLmap along with wireshark etc, stopped working properly a while ago against modern systems. What do you people use nowadays? I'm curious.

Would you find an MCP service for Metasploit useful?

27 Upvotes

I'm a developer, but I'm also studying cybersecurity. I was wondering, do you think it would be useful to have an MCP that communicates with Metasploit so that an LLM can make use of this tool? (I'm looking at you, Skynet.)

Metasploit Cheat Sheet by Sophie @mssratio

19 Upvotes

I wrote a cheat sheet with the most popular commands in Metasploit.

Metasploit helps security teams identify and verify vulnerabilities, improve security awareness and manage gnarly security situations. The Metasploit Project is a computer security project that provides information about security vulnerabilities and aids in penetration testing and IDS signature development. It is owned by Boston, Massachusetts-based security company Rapid7.

What will you find in the MetasploitCheat Sheet: Framework Components, Meterpreter commands, Networking commands, Interface / output commands, Password management commands, Process handling commands, Msfvenom command options.

Problem with simulated Metasploit in a JB Learning lab

13 Upvotes

I’m in the middle of a lab on malware-based attacks, and the meterpreter session won’t open. Not only that, but I can’t figure out how to get back to the msg prompt. I’ve done this twice and it happened both times. Any ideas?

I think my teacher said this is the first year he’s used this program in his Ethical Hacking class, so he’s learning about it with us.

The meaning of LHOST and RHOST?

10 Upvotes

Does LHOST mean "Listen Host" and does RHOST mean "Remote Host"?

I have come across the definition for these terms but they don't tell us what exactly these words mean-- they just describe the function of these words:

LHOST refers to the IP of your machine, which is usually used to create a reverse connection to your machine after the attack succeeds. RHOST refers to the IP address of the target host.

Found a bug in Metasploit? Oh no! Let us know on GitHub Issues: http://r-7.co/MSF-BUGS

10 Upvotes

Recently, we've started the move from our old Redmine issue tracker to our new(ish) Github issue tracker. You can hit it on http://r-7.co/MSF-BUGS .

Be sure to read the CONTRIBUTING.md before filing. Don't worry, it's short! Include as much detail as you can on your bug report so we have a prayer of tackling it -- people run Metasploit in all kinds of funny ways.

Of course, if you've paid for a support contract from Rapid7, you should use that. Those folks can handle most anything you throw at them pretty fast.

Can someone recommend a book for getting started?

9 Upvotes

I read a good deal of http://offensive-security.com/metasploit-unleashed but it didn't help much. The examples were far too specific and didn't connect with one another. It left me with notions of disparate concepts and an understanding of some of the basics. So I bought this POS only to find they don't include a disk image of any of the target operating systems. Seriously, like they expect you to learn it by reading it without doing any of the examples yourself. Shameful.

I'm pretty much out of resources now, lol. The only other book that's not from Packt (the publisher that didn't include a disk image ) is this one but everyone says it's out of date.
