How to Install Metasploit in Termux?
What Is Metasploit
Metasploit is a free, open-source penetration testing framework. It is designed for use against a single computer or network, in contrast to other penetration testing tools such as nikto and cain and abel that target a network of computers.
This is done to reduce the time spent in scanning for a network, increasing the speed at which exploits can be found.
The metasploit framework contains pre-configured plugins and exploits, although the user can also write their own.
Metasploit is available for almost all operating systems, so it is very easy to get up and running with it.
All you need to do is download the metasploit framework, extract the package, and run it.
