The Metasploit Project is a tool that can be used by computer technicians to keep computers and programs safe from malicious attackers. It helps find and fix security vulnerabilities in computers. It works by simulating an attack on a computer or program. It tries different types of malicious activities until it finds any security weak spots. Technicians can then use the information from Metasploit to patch up any weak spots and help protect the system from malicious attackers.
