The Metasploit® Framework is a free, open source penetration testing solution developed by the open source community and Rapid7. It is the de-facto standard for penetration testing with more than one million unique downloads per year and the world’s largest, public database of quality assured exploits.
The term Metasploit Project encompasses the Metasploit Framework, the world’s leading penetration testing tool, and the community that fuels it. It is an open source project that provides penetration testing software, information on security vulnerabilities, and enables exploit code and IDS signature development.
The Metasploit Framework, developed in Ruby with some C and assembler components, is the actual development platform used to create security test tools and exploit modules and can also be used as a penetration testing system. It is an extremely powerful command-line tool that has released some of the most sophisticated exploits to public security vulnerabilities. It’s also known for its anti-forensic and evasion tools, which are built into the Metasploit Framework.
Where do Metasploit Pro and Metasploit Express fit in?
Metasploit Pro and Metasploit Express are our commercial offerings that fund a full-time team of developers for the Metasploit Framework, helping to keep the Metasploit Framework free for everybody. Metasploit Pro and Metasploit Express leverage the power of the Metasploit Framework and pair it with an intuitive and user-friendly interface and added functionality. No command lines necessary – unless you want to. That doesn’t mean that the software is for dummies – quite the contrary. Especially Metasploit Pro adds advanced features for expert penetration testers. At the same time, it provides the efficiency and control required for professional assignments.
From start to finish, the interface guides every user through the process of discovering hosts, gaining access to targeted systems, taking control of those systems, and collecting evidence. In addition to making penetration testing faster and easier, both products have advanced capabilities – such as VPN pivoting and custom Web application exploits – that the Metasploit Framework does not offer. If you want to read the full list of differences, go to the Metasploit feature comparison.
