You probably already heard, but Metasploit Framework 3.0 is out!
An article in Dark Reading comments on the new functionality:
Among the new features for Metasploit 3.0 that weren’t originally shown in the beta are three exploit modules that target WiFi driver vulnerabilities in the Windows kernel. The framework comes with APIs, 177 exploits, as well as modules that handle host discovery, protocol fuzzing, and denial-of-service testing. It’s aimed at researchers, network security pros for penetration testing, system administrators for verifying patch installations, and at vendors testing the security of their products. Metasploit runs across all the main operating systems and works with Unix mainframes and Nokia n800 handheld devices as well.
One feature in the new version lets you manipulate the memory of process that’s running in an exploited system, and another lets you relay attacks through the compromised machine, notes Moore. “From a penetration testing perspective, the most useful features are the combination of the new Meterpreter payload and the ability to relay connections through compromised systems.”
