Metasploit Wrapup: 4/20/17
Editor's Note: While this edition of the Metasploit Wrapup is a little late (my
fault, sorry), we're super excited that it's our first ever Metasploit Wrapup to
be authored by an non-Rapid7 contributor. We'd like to thank claudijd
[https://github.com/claudijd] -long-time Metasploit contributor, Mozilla
security wrangler, and overall nice guy - for writing this post. If other
Metasploit contributors want to get involved with spreading the word, we want to
hear from you!
We should be back on trac

Faster, Meterpreter, KILL! KILL!
You can now search for and kill processes by name in Meterpreter with the new
pgrep and pkill commands. They both have flags similar to the older ps command,
allowing you to filter by architecture (-a), user (-u), or to show only child
processes of the current session's process (-c). We've also added a -x flag to
find processes with an exact match instead of a regex, if you're into that.

Metasploit Weekly Wrapup: March 10, 2017
The last couple of weeks in the infosec world have appeared busier, and buzzier,
than most others. It seems almost futile to pry everyone away from the current
drama--that being the bombshell revelation that intelligence agencies collect
intelligence--long enough to have them read our dev blog. Regardless, we've
been busy ourselves. And if you're the least bit like me, you could probably
use a quick respite from the cacophony. Keeping up with all the noise is enough
to make anyone feel lik

I gave at the office
The office can be a popular place when it comes to giving. From selling kids'
cookies/candy to raising awareness for a charity, the opportunity to 'give at
the office' is definitely a thing. And now, thanks to Office macros, Metasploit
offers a new way to give (and receive!) at 'the Office'.
These days, using malicious macros in office productivity programs is still a
common attack vector. Designed with a handful of word-processing programs in
mind (including some open sour

Las Vegas 2016 is in The Books
This week's wrap-up actually covers two weeks thanks in large part to the yearly
pilgrimage to Las Vegas. I myself elected not to attend, but I'm told everyone
had a great time. Many on the team are still recuperating, but I'd wager that
they all enjoyed seeing you there as well. Here's to everyone's speedy
recovery.

Metasploit Weekly Wrapup for 2015-10-15
Welcome to this week's Metasploit Wrapup. I'm your host Brent Cook, tagging in
for egypt [https://twitter.com/egyp7] who just finished speaking about
Metasploit at the Texas DIR Telecommunications Forum
[http://dir.texas.gov/View-About-DIR/Calendar-Detail.aspx?id=155&month=10&year=2015&type=list]
. This week was largely focused on bug fixes and refinements.
In the fixes bucket, PowerShell sessions now properly upgrade with the 'sessions

Vegas: That's a Wrap
Well, another trek out to the Nevada desert is behind us. I actually love
heading out there every year, since it gives me a chance to connect with a
sizable chunk of the Metasploit contributor community in a corporeal way. That
just fills me with warm fuzzies, so thanks to all of you who made the
pilgrimage. You, the open source security research community, is what makes
Vegas feel a lot homier than it ought to.
Speaking of community, now that we're past the Vegas Singulari

Weekly Metasploit Wrapup: T-Shirts, T-Shirts, & Some Modules
Black Hat T-Shirts!
Well, it's a week or so until DEF CON 23, and since you're all busy prepping all
your demos and presentations and panels and things, I figured I should remind
you that among all your gear, you should probably toss some clothes in your bag
before you head out the door. In case this slips your mind, though, don't sweat,
we have you covered.

Browser Autopwn Version 2
Hey all! If you haven't been following the Metasploit development over the last
few weeks, you know that we've been pretty busy getting Browser Autopwn Version
2 (BAPv2) out the door and into Metasploit Framework. This project was, and is,
driven by our own beloved Wei _sinn3r [https://twitter.com/_sinn3r] Chen, and
it's one of those projects around here that I'm really personally very excited
about.
If you want to jump into all the implementation details and history,
