Metasploit: Introduction

Metasploit is the most widely used exploitation framework in the industry. This room introduces the core architecture: modules, payloads, and the msfconsole interface. You'll learn the difference between exploits and payloads, how payload types work (singles vs staged vs stagers), and how to navigate msfconsole — searching modules, selecting them, configuring options, and firing exploits. No actual compromise in this room — pure framework fundamentals. This is the foundation everything else in Metasploit is built on.
