popeye VS Metasploit

We also leverage tools like Kubent, popeye, kdave, and Pluto to help us manage API deprecations (when Kubernetes deprecates features in updates) and ensure the overall health of our infrastructure.

Just came across this, sounds nice: https://popeyecli.io/

The repository for the tool can be found here.

Use tool like Kube-hunter, Popeye and Kubescape for security weaknesses and misconfigurations in kubernetes clusters and visibility of security issues.

"Popeye is a utility that scans live Kubernetes cluster and reports potential issues with deployed resources and configurations."

A similar tool is Popeye. It works on any cluster, not just clusters hosted on GKE.

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.
