Where to start? The Metasploit Framework (MSF) is a very popular penetration testing tool used by security professionals the world over. It was previously written in Perl but underwent a complete rewrite for version 3, where the developers switched the project to Ruby. The tool unifies the various stages of penetration testing in convenient interfaces (“msfconsole” for interactive use and “msfcli” for scripting purposes): information gathering and storage, exploit and payload configuration, IDS...more
A good introductory to the different ways of using Metasploit. Since I had already some previous experience using Metasploit my favorite chapters were the one covering usage of Meterpreter and how to create your own module or how to port your own exploits to Metasploit framework. In the end of the book there was also a nice chapter how to set up a small and vulnerable network for testing different attacks which I also found a good addition to the book.
A great, easy to read and follow along with introductory book for Metasploit. As someone who had previous knowledge, I still enjoyed reading this book from start to finish in order to cement Concepts I knew and learn things I didn’t.
This book is not just about Metasploit. It is also a great InfoSec and Pen. Testing book. A must read for anyone who wants to get into or master the field. No repetitions, well written, full of examples.
i want to read this.

I have gone through a paper copy of this book (that is exceedingly rare for me) that was much marked-up, dog-eared, and falling apart before I bought the Kindle version. Still one of the most useful reference books I use as a go-to whenever I get the pleasure of using Metasploit again. Lately, I have been doing more speaking and writing. But anyone who is a penetration tester looking to add to their library should absolutely have this book. Not only is it terribly informative, Dave does an amazi...more

Probably one of the best penetration testing books I have ever read. You will need basic linux knowledge and a backtrack distro to be able to get most of this book. It first teaches you the basics of Metasploit then you go deeper and deeper.
some of the commands are outdated however I am pretty sure a hacker like you can manage to get him/herself updated.
And remember: Hugs are always better than handshakes !!;-)

I have occasionally played Metasploit with friends and recently started playing at home, so this seemed like a good guide. The first chapter adds some interesting commentary to the storyline but can be skipped by those not completely interested in the thin plot. Other than that, this book is a standard walkthrough with some hints and easter eggs. My biggest complaint is that even after reading this book cover to cover, I'm still trying to figure out how to beat this game.
I mainly picked this up for the chapter on the Social-Engineering Toolkit, but I felt much of the content for both SET and Metasploit was already well documented online (http://www.offensive-security.com/met...). But if you prefer serial content over hyperlinked, then this is a decent version.
Its too short, mostly novice tutorials.
Last chapters on exploit development / adapting side exploits for Metasploit Framework and scripting were best but still too thin.
This book is more like introduction articles on Metasploit / SET / Fast Track / etc. Such famous authors could write multiple thousand+ pages volumes on each topic for good I think.

This book serves as an excellent way to learn the Metasploit framework. Very clear and detailed information, well explained and a great structure makes it easy to follow and assimilate. Only chapter that could have been better is the 'real-life example of a complete pen test'.
Along with nMap and Burpsuite, one of the indispensable tools of the trade. So much more to learn - the firehose never turns off, one just learns to take larger gulps at a time. Waving, not drowning.
Although the principles within this book are still relevant and very helpful, the book is outdated and a revised version hasn't been published. An even newer version of Metasploit is being released at DEFCON 23 which will further make this book obsolete.
A very technical book that can get you up and running on metasploit; if you are patient
Its david kennedy you really can't say any thing else. Your going to get the best from the best.

Great starter book for the MSF.
Covers everything you need to know about the Metasploit framework. No more no less. I liked it.
Very informative book. I'm a system administrator and found the information very helpful when trying to secure a network from outside attack.

One of the best Metasploit books out there. It covers the basics but also some more advanced stuff very useful in my daily pentesting live out there :)

A fantastic resource. I think that if I worked in the field, I'd make this a book to reread regularly. Each time you'd pick out more useful details.
This book is great for anyone trying to pick up advanced metasploit methodology. Great as a reference and for first timers that want a complete walk through.

Awesome book for anyone new to Metasploit framework. Also check out the Metasploit unleashed tutorials on official website.
A must read for all exploit development enthusiasts and penetration testers. More of a handbook to keep by your side.
This book was great but it is quickly dated. A lot of the information is now online but that is ok its still a great place for a beginner to start.

Bought this with IASP scholarship money. Read it front to back, was not required by any class.
Metasploit A Penetration Tester's Guide
Great book but, it is outdated. For people wanting to read this book, I recommend reading the manual thats in Kali(new bt5).

Very good book for beginning to learn penetration testing from gathering informaiton to covering tracks. Also it has many examples of how to use Metasploit framework on hacking scenarios. However, if example not work you can find alternative tutorials for specific section using Google.
