Metasploit as a Launchpad for Lateral Movement

Описание: In this clip, Warren describes Metasploit as a framework that streamlines the process of launching exploits at targeted IP addresses. Once you discover a vulnerable service and gain a shell on that machine, you can pivot through the compromised system to attack other hosts on the same network. This capability is often referred to as lateral movement.

By using the web server or endpoint you have already compromised as a stepping stone, Metasploit allows you to install or execute further exploits that would not be accessible directly from outside the network. This flexibility—from initial compromise to deeper penetration—shows why Metasploit remains a go-to tool for many penetration testers.
