Searching and Using Exploits

Find and run.

From Recon to Exploit

After scanning, you know the target's services and versions. The next step is finding an exploit module that matches a known vulnerability in those versions.

Metasploit's search command is your gateway to thousands of modules. Searching precisely saves time and avoids running the wrong code.

Basic Search

The search command queries the module index by keyword. You can search by software name, CVE, or service.
