Metasploit Framework is an open-source security tool distributed under a BSD-style license; licensing details are in the COPYING file. The README points to nightly installers for the latest version and to the official documentation site for usage guides. Key entry points described in the README: - Documentation: comprehensive usage guides at the Metasploit Docs site. - Development environment: a dedicated setup guide for building a development environment. - API documentation: resources for writing modules. - Bug and feature requests: handled through the GitHub Issues tracker, with a submission form. - Support and communication: GitHub Discussions, Metasploit Slack, GitHub Issues, and social accounts on X and Mastodon. The README notes that some community members may still use IRC and the metasploit-hackers mailing list, though primary channels are now Discussions and Slack. Installation: official installers are recommended on Linux or macOS, and Metasploit is pre-installed with Kali. A manual setup path is available through the development environment guide. Usage: the primary interface is msfconsole, and further guidance is in the Using Metasploit documentation section.
