Metasploit is just one tool in a pen testers toolkit. Knowing how to compile exploits is also good. You need to know most of the tool in BackTrack to even begin to do a proper job as a pen tester. The Open Source Pen Test Book from Syngress is good. Have a look at the CEH as well. Simon On Sun, Apr 19, 2009 at 7:11 PM, Professor 0110 <professor0110 at gmail.com>wrote:
Hi everyone, I'm hoping to officially break into the Penetration Testing/Ethical Hacking/Information Security sector within the next couple of years. I was wondering if just having the Metasploit Framework for exploitation would be enough in a Pen Testing situation - along with Port Scanners, Vulnerability Scanners, and Back-Track of course. :) The reason I ask is that Metasploit doesn't cover every single remote exploit, and to compile an exploit off places such as Milw0rm can be time consuming and inefficient in a Pen testing situation. Especially if the source code is broken and needs tweaking/rewriting to compile properly. Thanks. :) Professor 0110 _______________________________________________ https://mail.metasploit.com/mailman/listinfo/framework
