Metasploit is a tool that has forever changed the information security landscape. One would be hard pressed to find a tool as versatile, powerful and as supported in the hacking community today. On top of all that good mojo, it comes free of charge!

I get excited about Metasploit (who wouldn't). I wanted this book to match that excitement; To dive into Metasploit in new and exciting ways. It didn't. This book is written by some very smart guys, but goes about as deep as the average user guide. There's nothing new here really and most of what's discussed could be better absorbed through a few hours of playing with the application itself.

Overall this was a disappointment, one that could have been a whole lot better.
