The edition was released in April 2010, and was an open-core commercial edition for security teams who need to verify vulnerabilities. On June 4, 2019, Rapid7 discontinued Metasploit Express Edition. Metasploit Community was included in the main installer.

Metasploit Community Edition was based on the commercial functionality of the paid-for editions with a reduced set of features, including network discovery, module browsing and manual exploitation. The edition was released in October 2011, and included a free, web-based user interface for Metasploit.

Existing users were able to continue using it until their license expired. On July 18, 2019, Rapid7 announced the end-of-sale of Metasploit Community Edition.

Metasploit Pro adds onto Metasploit Express with features such as Quick Start Wizards/MetaModules, building and managing social engineering campaigns, web application testing, an advanced Pro Console, dynamic payloads for anti-virus evasion, integration with Nexpose for ad-hoc vulnerability scans, and VPN pivoting.Дiscontinued editions of Metasploit Metasploit Community Edition In October 2010, Rapid7 added Metasploit Pro, an open-core commercial Metasploit edition for penetration testers. This free version of the Metasploit project also includes Zenmap, a well known security scanner, and a compiler for Ruby, the language in which this version of Metasploit was written. It contains a command line interface, third-party import, manual exploitation and manual brute forcing. The most popular are maintained by Rapid7 and Strategic Cyber LLC.

There are several interfaces for Metasploit available. Metasploit can import vulnerability scanner data and compare the identified vulnerabilities to existing exploit modules for accurate exploitation.

Vulnerability scanners such as Nessus, and OpenVAS can detect target system vulnerabilities. This information can be gleaned with port scanning and TCP/IP stack fingerprinting tools such as Nmap. To choose an exploit and payload, some information about the target system is needed, such as operating system version and installed network services. The Metasploit Framework can be extended to use add-ons in multiple languages. Metasploit runs on Unix (including Linux and macOS) and on Windows. It facilitates the tasks of attackers, exploit writers and payload writers. This modular approach вЂ“ allowing the combination of any exploit with any payload вЂ“ is the major advantage of the Framework.

Choosing the encoding technique so that hexadecimal opcodes known as 'bad characters' are removed from the payload, these characters will cause the exploit to fail.

Metasploit often recommends a payload that should work.

Choosing and configuring a payload (code that will be executed on the target system upon successful entry for instance, a remote shell or a VNC server).

Choosing and configuring an exploit (code that enters a target system by taking advantage of one of its bugs about 900 different exploits for Windows, Unix/ Linux and macOS systems are included).

Optionally checking whether the intended target system is vulnerable to an exploit.

The basic steps for exploiting a system using the Framework include. Metasploit 4.0 was released in August 2011. This avenue can be seen with the integration of the lorcon wireless (802.11) toolset into Metasploit 3.0 in November 2006.

Metasploit 3.0 began to include fuzzing tools, used to discover software vulnerabilities, rather than just exploits for known bugs. Metasploit's emerging position as the de facto exploit development framework led to the release of software vulnerability advisories often accompanied by a third party Metasploit exploit module that highlights the exploitability, risk and remediation of that particular bug. Since the acquisition of the Metasploit Framework, Rapid7 has added two open core proprietary editions called Metasploit Express and Metasploit Pro. Like many information security tools, Metasploit can be used for both legitimate and unauthorized activities. Like comparable commercial products such as Immunity's Canvas or Core Security Technologies' Core Impact, Metasploit can be used to test the vulnerability of computer systems or to break into remote systems. On October 21, 2009, the Metasploit Project announced that it had been acquired by Rapid7, a security company that provides unified vulnerability management solutions. By 2007, the Metasploit Framework had been completely rewritten in Ruby.
