• FAR TOO LIMITED IN COMMUNITY EDITION, features absent

  Jheckman5December 24, 2012

  Pros

  Nothing really, interface is nice and organized.

  Cons

  1. Community edition is nothing more than a glorified nmap tool, i can download nmap for free and i don't need a serial key to use it. 2. No advanced features are included in community edition so i am unable to test it out to see if i even like it, again 220 mb of space is too much for a glorified nmap. 3. Using Wireshark, Zenmap and a few other choice freeware tools i can probably duplicate what metasploit does and i would learn more while doing it. Not including the actual exploits which i am sure freeware versions can be found if i look hard enough. 4. pradameinhoff is way off on his review, this is a bad way to learn this stuff when there are far superior tools available that offer a more upfront functionality without demanding 3000 in cash to be able to actually use it. Sorry but as of now i hate metasploit and I'm going to stick with what my instructor recommends. After all the only good way to learn this stuff is to use the real solid tools that are actually time tested.

  Summary

  My advice is to stear away until they reconsider making the community edition more useable for the average folk.

• Makes pwning so much easier...

  Pros

  Metasploit Express is much easier to use than the regular Metasploit, especially because it uses a web interface rather than command line only. I liked the nmap integration, making network discovery much easier. It's more like point, click, pwn...

  Cons

  Liked the software but the $3,000 price tag is a little heftyfor personal use, so it's for business only. The 7 day trial gives you access to all the features, doesn't seem to be limited.

  Summary

  If you want to give pentesting a try, this is the easy way to go...
