H.D. Moore speaks about Metasploit Project deal, Release 3.3
You've just released Metasploit Framework 3.3, a full year after 3.2. What's new and improved? Moore: Nearly everything. We've added something like 120 new exploits, 100 new auxiliary modules, and almost every payload has been rewritten. The executable generator can now actually inject itself into existing binaries, so nearly all the antivirus signatures that previously blocked things like Metasploit-generated binaries no longer work. We now support Windows 7, Vista 64-bit, and 64-bit in general as both a target platform and as an attacking platform. We fixed tons and tons of bugs to make things more stable. We added a lot of new ways to embed payloads into a lot of different things. You can now put a payload into a Word document, into a Visual Basic script to make it persistent. Basically, we're going after a lot of scenarios all at the same time.
