I'm very excited to bring the EH-Net Community something truly special. This is an entire video course on ethical hacking using Armitage & Metasploit. I think it fits nicely into a niche not currently filled. This is not a replacement for any other large tutorials or full-fledged instructor-led courses. It's right in the middle. It's about 2 hours of instruction from the author of Armitage in easy to follow videos.

So if anyone asks where do I start or how do I break into this field, I think this will become THE place to send them. So spread the word and enjoy.

As always, let us know what you think. Raphael and I will keep an eye on this and make modifications if necessary to this totally free course.

Special thanks to Raphael Mudge. This is his work and he has graciously agreed to have this as an exclusive contribution to EH-Net. His is truly a valued member of the greater security community.

Don

Gonna check it out over the weekend.
Looks like good stuff though. Well done

It's possible to run Metasploit on MacOS X but it's a lot of manual steps to get the dependencies in place. Further, it's even more work to get Armitage going beyond that. The Windows and Linux installers "just work". BackTrack 5 is fantastic. Everything is set up there for you. I recommend going that route.

Good thing is BT5 has got Metaspolit & Armitage with it, so didnt had much trouble except to get latest MSF framework.

I did tried to run on my De-ICE-1.100, its interesting as most of the things it is building up after each process (like after nmap scan, it build attack options etc...). Its good to for a person like me to understand & parallely build knowledge on commandline (rather fully depending on tool). I like this very much...

Thank you don for bringing these videos to everyone's attention and to Raphael for his time and expertise.  I'll set some time aside later this week to digest them then play around with the concepts discussed.

Very useful videos.

Thanks!

A few people have asked me which drawing program I use on MacOS X to build network maps. I alluded to this program in the access lecture, but didn't mention it by name--my bad. The program is OmniGraffle and it's available at: http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnigraffle/

Most of my diagrams are made using OmniGraffle. It's commercial, but well worth the money. I downloaded a few stencils to make it easier to create network maps using it. Stencils are available at: http://graffletopia.com/

For example, I recommend: http://graffletopia.com/stencils/144 and http://graffletopia.com/stencils/523  There are plenty of other stencils for all your network mapping needs on this site though.

My penetration testing maps are probably ghetto by the standards of http://www.ratemynetworkdiagram.com/index2.php but they serve as a great tool to organize my thoughts, map open services/software versions, capture what network security devices I believe exist, and to note possible findings.
