Platform Introduction

The Metasploit Framework is one of the most powerful and widely used penetration testing tools for security professionals. At Cyber Security Testing Pro, we leverage Metasploit to simulate cyberattacks against smart IoT systems, uncover vulnerabilities, and test defensive strategies in real-time. From exploiting outdated firmware in field devices to evaluating authentication schemes across industrial control networks, Metasploit enables comprehensive security validation. Operating from Canoga Park, CA, Cyber Security Testing Pro integrates Metasploit into red teaming, security assessments, and DevSecOps pipelines for clients across North America. With our expertise, organizations can turn offensive insights into defensive improvements and achieve stronger, more resilient infrastructure.

Core Components

Hardware

Ethernet Analyzers

can be used on test benches to monitor and diagnose traffic anomalies during simulated exploit execution and system hardening analysis.

Fiber Distribution Terminal

supports secure, isolated fiber setups ideal for offline lab environments requiring high-integrity physical segmentation.

Software

Metasploit includes msfconsole, msfvenom, Armitage (GUI), and a vast database of exploits, payloads, and auxiliary modules.

Includes scripting support for Ruby, Python, and shell automation.

Cloud Services

Available in cloud-integrated environments using Metasploit Pro for multi-site management.

Works with virtualized infrastructure for distributed IoT testing and simulation at scale.

Key Features

Exploit Development & Delivery – Use prebuilt or custom exploits to test system defenses.

Payload Customization – Craft platform-specific payloads to assess different devices and endpoints.

Post-Exploitation Modules – Test privilege escalation, lateral movement, and data exfiltration vectors.

Social Engineering Toolkit Integration – Simulate phishing and client-side attacks.

Community and Enterprise Support – Open-source flexibility with premium features via Metasploit Pro.

Automated Exploit Matching – Match vulnerabilities to working exploits from a constantly updated library.

Case Studies

U.S. Water Infrastructure Project – Texas

A regional water provider collaborated with Cyber Security Testing Pro to conduct targeted exploit simulations across smart valve control systems. Within 21 days, the team fixed 12 firmware-related flaws that were previously undetected by vulnerability scanners.

Canadian Energy Provider – Ontario


Cyber Security Testing Pro assisted a Canadian utility in leveraging Metasploit to test VPN tunnels and field device firmware for known exploits. The result was an improved segmentation policy and successful NERC CIP audit closure.

U.S. Smart Utility – New York


Cyber Security Testing Pro deployed Metasploit to simulate lateral movement across SCADA environments. The client identified 3 critical privilege escalation vectors and resolved them, achieving internal security audit compliance ahead of schedule.
