Definately use Metasploits on-line framework support - the book "Metasploit Toolkit for Penetration Testing" was not all-inclusive 2 years ago leaving out many of the features available at that time. On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 2:00 PM, <framework-request at spool.metasploit.com>wrote:

Message-ID: <83ff70350908031349j5b123277v63c2ba39ec2f705e at mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I'm looking for a really thorough guide to the framework. I'm not a total newb user, as I would say I probably use metasploit 5 to 6 times a week at my job, I read the mailing list, and a couple of blogs (Dark Operator's is soooo interesting), and try to look at the code to understand it better. All that said, I think I'm just a novice user. I barely know how to use msfencode or msfpayload, and I'd say that 99.99% of my time is spent in msfconsole. I'm looking for a book / guide / documentation / recommendation / whatever to help me get out of the novice stage and into the intermediate stage so I can start using the frameworks potential more. I know that Amazon lists a book (Metasploit Toolkit for Penetration Testing, Exploit Development, and Vulnerability Research (Paperback), but it's from 2007. Has anyone read the book? Would you recommend it, or do you recommend the official documentation instead? I'm also curious if people knew Ruby before picking up Metasploit. Do you think I'm better server with a book on Ruby and the Metasploit documentation? I know some Ruby, but I'm not so comfortable that it's the language I go to if I need to do something quickly. Thanks in advance, and thanks for the hard work that everyone puts into the framework, ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 03 Aug 2009 22:00:51 -0500 From: "HD Moore" <hdm at metasploit.com> To: framework at spool.metasploit.com Subject: Re: [framework] Is the Metasploit book still up-to-date?

Until the new Offensive Security coursebook comes out[1], the best bet is the official documentation and wikibooks articles.I'm also curious if people knew Ruby before picking up Metasploit.
