The penetration testing professionals must rejoice the latest Metasploit Version 3.4.0 release. This is a wonderful tool that can be downloaded from here. It has many crucial improvements from its predecessor.Metasploit now has 551 exploit modules and 261 auxiliary modules. It has got a brute force support and the release includes several major improvements, especially to Meterpreter, which is one of the available shellcode modules.
Meterpreter is now claimed to be capable of switching seamlessly between 32-bit and 64-bit processes on compromised systems. The Meterpreter is a critical component of Metasploit in that it provides the ability to perform advanced post-exploit automation on a target system. The release has also added new Java and exploit automation technologies.
The version is still freely available though its professional and paid version is also available. Metasploit is used world wide for security and pen testing purposes. It is also part of many security distros like Backtrack ( may be in modified form).
