Hey folks. I just wanted to pass along the announcement from HDM that Metasploit has released the latest iteration of their tool suite. Version 3.1 of the Metasploit framework is now available for download.
From the Metasploit blog:
The Metasploit Project announced today the free, world-wide availability of version 3.1 of their exploit development and attack framework. The latest version features a graphical user interface, full support for the Windows platform, and over 450 modules, including 265 remote exploits. “Metasploit 3.1 consolidates a year of research and development, integrating ideas and code from some of the sharpest and most innovative folks in the security research community” said H D Moore, project manager. Moore is referring the numerous research projects that have lent code to the framework.
These projects include the METASM pure-ruby assembler developed by Yoann Guillot and Julien Tinnes, the “Hacking the iPhone” effort outlined in the Metasploit Blog, the Windows kernel-land payload staging system developed by Matt Miller, the heapLib browser exploitation library written by Alexander Sotirov, the Lorcon 802.11 raw transmit library created by Joshua Wright and Mike Kershaw, Scruby, the Ruby port of Philippe Biondi’s Scapy project, developed by Sylvain Sarmejeanne, and a contextual encoding system for Metasploit payloads. “Contextual encoding breaks most forms of shellcode analysis by encoding a payload with a target-specific key” said I)ruid, author of the Uninformed Journal (volume 9) article and developer of the contextual encoding system included with Metasploit 3.1.
