Metasploit Framework

I was curious about metasploit framework when I learned network security. There are so many forum talk about this out there. This is a great for anybody who deals with network security, whatever you are (black/white hat).

Formerly we have to know more closely with opensource tools, I took this from the official site of metasploit


"What is it?
The Metasploit Framework is a development platform for creating security tools and exploits. The framework is used by network security professionals to perform penetration tests, system administrators to verify patch installations, product vendors to perform regression testing, and security researchers world-wide. The framework is written in the Ruby programming language and includes components written in C and assembler.

What does it do?
The framework consists of tools, libraries, modules, and user interfaces. The basic function of the framework is a module launcher, allowing the user to configure an exploit module and launch it at a target system. If the exploit succeeds, the payload is executed on the target and the user is provided with a shell to interact with the payload."

As we know above, this tool formerly was created for system administrators to perform security testing. but like a thaoism phylosopi of yin yan, this tool can also used to attack certained system.
