It's not possible to do penetration testing without being very proficient in Metasploit.
Rapid7 Metasploit is crucial for penetration testing, offering a wide range of exploits and payloads. It supports effective testing of Linux-based web servers and enhances security assessments with automation and Nessus result uploads. The platform improves clarity and reduces tool dependency, performing faster than Nessus without system strain. Despite the complex setup, antivirus installation limitation, and need for frequent database updates, the tool requires more user training for scalability and automation.
