The Metasploit Framework 2.3 is the latest evolution of a project that began as a lark and has turned into a serious tool for penetration testing and exploit development.

The framework, which is written in Perl and runs on most Unix systems and Windows, is a somewhat less formal version of pen-testing tools such as Core Security Technologies Inc.'s Core Impact or Immunity Inc.'s Canvas, but it is designed to be every bit as powerful and easy to use.

The new version contains a host of updated capabilities and an expanded library of custom-made exploits and payloads, usable against vulnerabilities in Windows, Linux and some Unix variants.
