exploits VS Metasploit

If you still feel that's not "proper hacking", consider exploits that target the browser engine directly - those exploits are typically written in JavaScript. Here's an 0day from this week that gets code exec inside Chrome, written in JavaScript.

Repo leads to this one from a few days ago, looks similar, maybe can help?

Coincidentally, a Chromium 0day was released this morning that will very likely work out of the box on the latest Tesla software to get arbitrary code execution within the sandbox (tonight's little project, most likely).

Metasploit

Metasploit: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework

1-) Learn Hacking on a debian based distro like Kali Linux - I personally started with tools like nikto, camhacker... and then moved to more complex frameworks like metasploit.

I once had to give a presentation about Metasploit, and whether it was ethically correct for the creator to make it free and open-source, available to everyone. And in researching this I realized that there were a lot of parallels between the arguments for or against hacking tools being readily available and the arguments for or against gun control. I'll just list a few quickly:

Metasploit Framework (mentioned earlier)

This phase is where the pen testers practically prove that there exist potential vulnerabilities in the target system. The pen testers do the hacking using an array of technical approaches and social engineering methods to exploit the vulnerabilities. The ethical hackers commonly use Metasploit framework to automatically execute exploitation against the target systems. Moreover, they may install malwares such as rootkit to persistently maintain their foothold and further compromise the target system.
