Metasploit Framework 3.3 is here

Metasploit Project has released version 3.3 of the Metasploit Framework, including updated exploits for WIndows 7.

All told, v3.3 packs 446 exploits and hundred of payloads, more than enough for those seeking an automated attack platform. 180 bugs have been fixed since the last release.

There's no need to be a cyber-genius to use the Metasploit Framework, much to the consternation of security professionals who miss the days when significant technical proficiency was required to write and launch attacks.

With the Metasploit Framework, it's as easy as selecting and configuring your exploit and payload, finding a vulnerable target, encoding your payload to hide from intrusion detection systems, and launching your exploit.

Remember, you should be using this tool for research, teaching, and assessment purposes only. Running Metasploit against targets without permission can get you a visit from people wearing sunglasses and dark suits.

You've been warned.
