<b>Scheduled alpha preview release:</b> December 15th, 2005<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Metasploit 3.0 is the next generation of the Metasploit Framework. It is written
|
|
in the <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/">Ruby</a> programming language.
|
|
As it stands, the 2.0 branch has made it possible to drastically reduce the
|
|
amount of time it takes to implement an exploit with the added benefit of making
|
|
it possible to re-use large amounts of code between various exploits. The
|
|
extensible model through which payloads, encoders, NOP generators, and exploits
|
|
can be integrated has made it possible to use the Metasploit Framework as an
|
|
outlet for cutting-edge exploitation research.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
In this light, the 3.0 version is being planned to help continue to evolve
|
|
the field of exploitation research and exploitation frameworks in general.
|
|
The primary goals of the 3.0 version are listed below:<br/>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>To improve automation of exploitation through scripting
|
|
<li>To simplify the process of writing an exploit
|
|
<li>To increase code re-use between exploits
|
|
<li>To improve and generically integrate evasion techniques
|
|
<li>To support automated network discovery and event correlation through <i>recon</i> modules
|
|
<li>To continue to provide a friendly outlet to cutting edge exploitation technology
|
|
</ul>
|
|
As we get closer to the preview release date, we will begin posting design
|
|
documentation and other information that will allow the community to assess
|
|
the new architecture and provide feedback. The preview release will simply
|
|
be used as a milestone by which the public can help us to gauge how much
|
|
work remains until we feel comfortable that we have a finished product.<br/>
|

|
In the meantime, here are some screenshots of the 3.0 release in development. Nothing
|
|
too fancy at this point, but it highlights some of the upcoming changes.<br/>
