Avatao vs. Metasploit

Avatao is an excellent tool for learning about secure coding and IT security in general. It can help you gain a lot of useful knowledge without feeling like it's a chore. The tutorials and challenges cover a lot of topics, at various difficulty levels. The UI looks nice and it's also user-friendly.

In security of information it's vital to think like a hacker and it's important to know the tools they use for attacks. So this software gives you the exploits that are already in the wild and to the access of everyone. That's very dangerous so you have to be aware of it.

• It gives a lot of liberty to developers to do things according to their needs and requirements to check whether it is a good approach or not.
• I am using this tool for developing software and it has been a great platform for us in doing work especially.
• It is compiled of all the best tools and provides a real time exercises to check codes easily.
• Easy to use and user-friendly.

• Scanning our network for new or existing vulnerable systems.
• Automation of manual tests and exploits to allow what used to be days of effort to be squeezed into hours.
• Metasploit has become an integral part in our validation of new systems before their inclusion in our production network.

• [I feel] it needs to be more functional while integrating with other platforms. Not the biggest drawback but there is a need to add more languages to it like PHP, Go, and Scala which is also very much developed and used in the organization.
• [I believe] the support team needs to be more active and responsive while dealing with the customers.

• If Metasploit could support payloads written in languages other than Ruby, that would be amazing and could help draw in a larger set of contributors.

Avatao is playing a great role in providing fantastic services. The great feature that I like the most in Avatao that it does not support only one programming language, it ranges its security protocols from various programming languages like Python, java, C#, and C++. Avatao bot is also very helpful in simple operation as when you get stuck somewhere the bot can actually help and make you out of that easily.

• Using the platform for us was a first step in teaching secure code best practices on a large scale.
• Implementing training increases overall security within the company.
• Our security culture evolves by doing trainings on a regular basis.

• We have been able to weed out false positives with a more manual vetting of scanned vulnerabilities.
• Our teams have become more well versed in penetration testing with Metasploit to understand the vulnerabilities potentially present.
