  • The next step is to configure the database, which stores the results and makes the tool more efficient.
  • A scanner module can help to identify network vulnerabilities such as open ports.
  • Once vulnerabilities are identified, an appropriate exploit should be chosen, set up, and executed responsibly and ethically.
  • Post-exploitation techniques can help to further access the network and systems and ensure continued access.
  • It is essential to use Metasploit to protect networks and systems and to improve security practices.
