## What it is
RouterSploit is an open-source exploitation framework dedicated to embedded devices like routers, modeled after Metasploit. It provides modules for exploits, credential testing, vulnerability scanning, and payload generation.

## Use cases
- test routers for known vulnerabilities
- brute-force credentials on network services
- scan embedded devices for exploitable firmware
- generate payloads for embedded architectures
- pentest IoT devices on a network

## When to choose
- you need a Metasploit-like tool for routers and embedded devices
- you want to audit credentials on network services
- you're doing IoT/embedded device security assessments

## When to avoid
- you need exploitation of general-purpose desktop or server software
- you want a GUI-driven pentest tool
- you need web application security testing

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: penetration-testing, security, vulnerability-scanning, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing, iot, embedded-systems
- platform: python, cli
- tags: exploitation-framework, routers, embedded-devices, credential-testing, metasploit-like, infosec, linux, macos, docker
