About Metasploit
The Metasploit Framework is a penetration testing platform that security professionals use to develop, test, and execute exploit code safely. Because it is self-hosted, you decide where the data lives, who can access it, and how long it is kept, with no per-seat lock-in. For teams, the appeal is control: audit the code, extend it where the license allows, and keep the workflow running even if a vendor changes direction.
