How I get to know Metasploit?
-----------------------------

Its came across on 2009 where and issue of Conficker viruses attacking my network.I got to study this Viruses from the net and suddenly it pop-up a site for exploiting Microsoft Windows Security Vulnerability MS08-067.

At that time I run a scanner using nmap and most of the LAN user infected of it.User are lacking in security vulnerability issue even a computer knowledge seem limited or don't bother at all.

At first its really hard to understand a simple instruction on how to install it into my Ubuntu box and after a few tries and I got it at last >:D .... its mean no harm just for the sake of my network and knowledge.

I lean all from this Metasploit blog ( http://blog.metasploit.com/ ) and also others blog that got around the Net.

Its was tremendous/stunning and a piece of art pioneer by HD Moore and his team.With this it really helping me a lot in securing issue around my network including for PC's and servers even routers.

Lastly...

I really appreciated and thankful to them.
