Metasploit Framework on GitHub

Welcome to Metasploit-land. Are you a Metasploit user who wants to get started or
get better at hacking stuff (that you have permission to hack)? The quickest way to
get started is to download the Metasploit nightly installers. This will give you
access to both the free, open-source Metasploit Framework and a free trial of
Metasploit Pro.

If you’re using Kali Linux, Metasploit is already pre-installed. See the Kali
documentation for how to get started using Metasploit in Kali Linux.

Are you anxious to get your Metasploit Development Environment set up so you can
start Landing Pull Requests and contributing excellent exploit code? If so, you’re
in the right place. If you’re an exploit developer, you will want to review our
Guidelines for Accepting Modules and Enhancements to find out what we expect when
we see pull requests for new Metasploit modules. No idea what you should start
working on? Check out the guidelines for contributing to Metasploit, and dive into
Setting Up a Metasploit Development Environment.
