Impressive exploit & post modules in Metasploit project

[rzgr-dev]

Metasploit team nailed it—exploit modules and post modules really caught my eye! Has anyone tried them yet? Would love to hear your experience.

Great question! Yes, the newer exploit and post modules in Metasploit are really impressive. Here's my experience with them:

Recent Exploit Modules I've Found Useful:

• The Windows privilege escalation modules (especially CVE-2021-44228 Log4j and recent Windows kernel exploits) are very practical
• The Linux kernel exploit modules have improved significantly, especially for modern kernel versions
• The web application exploits for common frameworks (Spring Boot, Struts, etc.) are well-maintained

Post Modules Worth Using:

• The credential dumping modules (hashdump, mimikatz variants) work smoothly on modern Windows systems
• The persistence modules have been significantly updated with better evasion techniques
• The PowerShell execution modules with obfuscation are excellent

Tips for Using Them:

1. Always verify module compatibility with your target OS version first
2. Use the 'check' action before running exploit modules
3. Keep Metasploit updated regularly as modules receive frequent improvements
4. Review module source code for recent CVEs to understand what's being exploited
5. Test in a lab environment first before using in actual assessments

The Metasploit team continues to do excellent work maintaining and updating these modules. They're definitely production-ready for penetration testing engagements!
