Metasploit Framework Updated: FastLib and More
Metasploit development moves fast. Blindingly fast, fueled by tons of open
source contributors -- which is one of the reasons why we moved away from our
tried and true SVN repository and on to GitHub. Now that we're on a more modern,
more social development platform, we have all new ways to get overwhelmed with
the pace of change on the Framework, especially since contributor code is that
much easier to integrate now. So, in order to ensure that the more notable
week-over-week changes get their

Metasploit Framework 4.0 Released!
It's been a long road to 4.0. The first 3.0 release was almost 5 years ago and
the first release under the Rapid7 banner was almost 2 years ago. Since then,
Metasploit has really spread its wings. When 3.0 was released, it was under a
EULA-like license with specific restrictions against using it in commercial
products. Over time, the reasons for that decision became less important and the
need for more flexibility came to the fore; in 2008, we released Metasploit 3.2
under a 3-clause BSD licen

w3af - And now, with a stable core
Since our latest w3af release in mid January
[/2011/01/19/w3af-10-rc5-better-stronger-faster], and our new windows installer
release a couple of months ago, we've got lots of encouraging words telling us
we are going in the right direction. The objective was near and we could almost
taste it. Having a stable code-base is no joke, it requires countless hours of
writing unit-tests, running w3af scripts and most importantly: fixing bugs. Now,
finally we're here!
