# Metasploit Framework Authorized Exploit Verification

Validates system defenses using Metasploit Framework (msfconsole): module search, payload configuration, post-exploitation verification, and validating patched security controls.

## When to Invoke
Invoke this skill whenever you need to:
- run metasploit scan
- verify vulnerability metasploit
- test exploit patch metasploit

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Conduct testing strictly against pre-authorized, explicitly defined test environments.
2. Select verified exploit modules matching exact target software versions.
3. Configure payload settings with appropriate LHOST and LPORT definitions.
4. Document test steps and proof-of-concept verification details in authorized pentest reports.

## Verification Checklist
- Run local linting, syntax validation, and type-checks before reporting completion.
- Ensure all created or modified files adhere to workspace boundaries and avoid uncommitted secrets.
- Verify tests or build commands exit cleanly with return code 0.
