Metasploit Pro

Metasploit Pro is Rapid7's commercial edition built on the open-source Metasploit Framework, adding a web interface, reporting and workflow features.

Legal & ethical use. Use this tool only on systems, networks and data that you own or have explicit written permission to test. Unauthorised access or scanning can break computer-misuse laws (for example Pakistan's Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016, and equivalents elsewhere). Practise in your own lab or in authorised environments such as CTFs.
