Metasploit VS Brakeman

I'm doing HTB Dante lab (if you have experience with this, please DM!) and I'm brute forcing a word press login with metasploit, except it keeps crashing likely due to a memory issue: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/issues/14471

Metasploit is also available for other OS. You can learn about it by clicking on this here

We will be seeing how can you hack onto your phone in 2022 using the Metasploit Framework. This attack will be done using a Trojan created using Metasploit

I have found devs can write metasploit module by using metasploit library for python https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/wiki/Writing-External-Python-Modules. Fourtenately, I can write python program

From the date that the vulnerability is published, it is common knowledge, and automated scripts will start looking for vulnerable hosts. Manual exploitation is usually also possible through Metasploit. In August 2021, Synology warned about malware infecting Synology NAS boxes, and this was not the first time

Metasploit modules tend to pop up very quickly after vulns go public. Maybe look at https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/tree/master/modules/exploits

Another great lib for this is Brakeman, which can be installed in a very similar process and gives you even more detailed reports:

A while ago, I came across a Brakeman false positive that I wanted to fix.

This is pretty easy to handle. In the case where a splatted array is the only argument to a method, we'll simply use the elements of the array as the argument list. (Check out the pull request here)

In order to prevent this issue, your organization needs to implement regular checks of your dependencies against the CVE database for known vulnerabilities, as well as establishing a process for keeping all dependencies up-to-date. Fortunately, much of this can be automated using vulnerability scanning tools, such as the OWASP Dependency Check, RetireJS, or Brakeman. Additional tools, such as WhiteSource's Renovate, provide a complete dependency management solution by automatically updating any found vulnerabilities. In addition to keeping dependencies updated, it's important to remove any dependencies that are no longer being used.

brakeman and bundler-audit as security scanners

As a side note, consider a static security analysis tool like Brakeman to run automatically as part of your build process so that your application is not solely relying on reviewers' eyes to catch critical security implications.

Brakeman is a static analysis tool that checks Ruby on Rails applications for security vulnerabilities. 5,800 stars by now
