## Reviews

### "Powerful and accessible exploitation tool for pentesting" — 5.0/5

> **Giuseppe** | *17 October 2024* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Metasploit is an industry standard for penetration testing and security research. What makes it so powerful is its extensive library of exploits, payloads, and auxiliary modules that cover a wide range of vulnerabilities across platforms. It's incredibly versatile, allowing you to test vulnerabilities, exploit them, and even patch systems, all in one toolkit. It is also free, which makes it even better.
> 
> **Cons**: Despite every module is highly customizable, Metasploit might not always be the correct choice for every task. It is often detected relatively easily; this creates the need of writing your own scripts to achieve some goals.
