Database exploits (including Oracle, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL)
Web application exploits
Most exploits due to improper hardening techniques or unsanitized data

6. Types of Attacks
Automated
Mass Client-Side Attack
Payload Generation

7. Payload Generator Assumes attacker has access to remote machine
Allows testing of host hardening and intrusion detection software
Provides Several Types of Payload:
Spawn a command shell
Start a VNC server
Open a port on remote system

8. Payload Generator, cont.
Provides several encoding procedures to test intrusion detection and antivirus
Includes avoid_utf8_lower

9. Documentation Largely unclear and unavailable
Best source is the docs for Metasploit itself
Still, many of the available choices are difficult to find information about
