Master Metasploit and the manual exploitation skills behind it, from scanning and post-exploitation to building your own shells and payloads.

This module covers exploitation from two complementary angles: Metasploit, the framework that powers countless real-world engagements, and the manual craft that underpins it. You’ll work through Metasploit from the ground up, learning to scan for vulnerabilities, exploit live systems, run post-exploitation modules, and generate custom payloads with msfvenom. From there, you’ll move beyond the framework to build your own shells, listeners, and payloads from scratch, so you can weaponize an exploit whether a framework is on the table or not.

What are modules?

A learning pathway is made up of modules, and a module is made of bite-sized rooms (think of a room like a mini security lab).
