In Detail
Metasploit software helps security and IT professionals identify security issues, verify vulnerability mitigations, and manage expert-driven security assessments. Capabilities include smart exploitation, password auditing, web application scanning, and social engineering. Teams can collaborate in Metasploit and present their findings in consolidated reports. The goal of the software is to provide a clear understanding of the critical vulnerabilities in any environment and to manage those risks.
Metasploit Penetration Testing Cookbook, Second Edition contains chapters that are logically arranged with an increasing level of complexity and thoroughly covers some aspects of Metasploit, ranging from pre-exploitation to the post-exploitation phase. This book is an update from version 4.0 to version 4.5. It covers the detailed penetration testing techniques for different specializations like wireless networks, VOIP systems, and the cloud.
Metasploit Penetration Testing Cookbook, Second Edition covers a number of topics which were not part of the first edition. You will learn how to penetrate an operating system (Windows 8 penetration testing) to the penetration of a wireless network, VoIP network, and then to cloud.
The book starts with the basics, such as gathering information about your target, and then develops to cover advanced topics like building your own framework scripts and modules. The book goes deep into operating-systems-based penetration testing techniques and moves ahead with client-based exploitation methodologies. In the post-exploitation phase, it covers meterpreter, antivirus bypass, ruby wonders, exploit building, porting exploits to the framework, and penetration testing, while dealing with VOIP, wireless networks, and cloud computing.
This book will help readers to think from a hacker's perspective to dig out the flaws in target networks and also to leverage the powers of Metasploit to compromise them. It will take your penetration skills to the next level.
Approach
This book follows a Cookbook style with recipes explaining the steps for penetration testing with WLAN, VOIP, and even cloud computing. There is plenty of code and commands used to make your learning curve easy and quick.
Who this book is for
This book targets both professional penetration testers as well as new users of Metasploit, who wish to gain expertise over the framework and learn an additional skill of penetration testing, not limited to a particular OS. The book requires basic knowledge of scanning, exploitation, and the Ruby language.

Free Metasploit Penetration Testing Cookbook, Second Edition
This book is the right successor of its first version. Abhinav's first work was very good and the unique style of the book made it a very handy guide. The second version inherits most of the contents from its first edition, with new chapters over VOIP, cloud and Windows 8.
the author maintains the same cookbook approach in this edition as well, which is the biggest reason I am giving it a 5 star. I was expecting more content upgrades in some chapters like social engineering and client side attacks, but unfortunately they are carried forward from the first edition.
The first edition was certainly for advance users, so is the second edition. The new chapters have been added keeping into mind the industrial use of metasploit framework.
Overall, I would recommend this book to every security professional as it has too much content, and you never know when you may bump across one of the cookbook recipes in real time.

The Metasploit framework is a very powerful set of tools in the right hands. This second edition of the Penetration Testing Cookbook is a timely update to Abhinav Singh's first edition. From configuring your environment whether in Windows, Linux (Ubuntu specifically), BackTrack, or a virtual machine, Singh goes on to expand beyond the basic usage of the Metasploit framework and explores additional tools for port scanning, exploiting browser and/or OS vulnerabilities, and SQL injection. Singh also explores wireless and voice over IP pen testing and social engineering. The wireless and VoIP chapters were pretty interesting, but I found the chapter on social engineering a bit weak and would recommend a book dedicated to that topic in order to really learn more about it. But the core material in this book - using the Metasploit framework to pen test via a number of different attack vectors - is satisfactory. Not ground-breaking, and you may want to start with a more introductory book (or one that is not in the cookbook format) on the Metasploit framework before diving into this cookbook, but if you prefer to jump in and get your hands dirty right away, this is the book for you.
This is a good if less than fresh resource...if you are the type of person who benefits from the cookbook format. While not everyone falls into this category at first, a well-written (and well-reviewed) cookbook such as this one may very well convert you to a fan of the format.
