Description of the workshop :

Security Penetration Testing (or pentest) is a security exercise in which an expert in cyber security tries to find and exploit the vulnerabilities of a computer system. This exercise mainly simulates security attacks, to verify and validate the ability of the defense mechanisms of this system to protect its resources and data. The Metasploit framework distributed by Rapid7 for Linux and Windows operating systems is the most used tool for this work.
In this workshop, we adress the essential set of functions and capabilities of the framework (scanning and managing hosts, using of Meterpreter payloads, etc.) in a very simple environment. We also discuss a set of common tools for information gathering before launching a pentest (shodan.io, GHDB, etc.).
