In the text, we talked about "script kiddies", i.e. those who don't know the underlying details of the attacks they launch. This is possible because hacking tools are freely and widely available. If you've ever watched the TV show Mr. Robot on USA, you may have seen the main character (Elliot) launching attacks using a computer with a dragon logo on the screen. That is a virtual machine built from a freely available Linux distribution known as Kali Linux. This has several hacking tools built in. Among them is a tool called Metasploit which contains a library of exploits (attacks) that take advantage of known vulnerabilities in common software. These are written by skilled hackers and made available to anyone who uses the Metasploit tool. For an example of the tool in action, check out this 7 minute video: Metasploit Framework basics on Kali Linux - Owning a Windows Server For a little more background, you can check out this 5 minute video by the company that describes the Metasploit software itself at a very high level as well as how it can be used by penetration testers: What is Metasploit? | Rapid7 Discuss your thoughts about this software, the fact that it is freely available, and whether you believe that it is something that businesses should fear or embrace.
