User Testimonials
	IDA PRO	Metasploit
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	In security of information it's vital to think like a hacker and it's important to know the tools they use for attacks. So this software gives you the exploits that are already in the wild and to the access of everyone. That's very dangerous so you have to be aware of it.

Pros	No answers on this topic	Scanning our network for new or existing vulnerable systems. Automation of manual tests and exploits to allow what used to be days of effort to be squeezed into hours. Metasploit has become an integral part in our validation of new systems before their inclusion in our production network. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	If Metasploit could support payloads written in languages other than Ruby, that would be amazing and could help draw in a larger set of contributors. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
