Package: Metasploit Framework
System name: msf
Type: non-GNU

Description:
The Metasploit Framework is a consistent interface for developing, testing, and 
using advanced exploit code. The current development version supports three 
distinct interfaces (command-line,  slick console, web interface) and allows 
new payloads, encoders, nop engines, and exploit modules to be dropped in and 
used. The current 2.0 tree has been in heavy development for almost six months, 
it has a dozen or so beta users, and two developers. The end result will be a 
platform that can be used for security research and professional services (ala 
Core Impact, Immunitysec's CANVAS, etc). 

Instead of focusing on a specific new technology, this projects demonstrates
how many of the recently developed tools and techniques can be integrated
to create an advanced exploit platform. The significance lies in ability
immediately integrate new technologies into your entire exploit
collection without having to change a single line of code in the exploits
themselves. Additionally, the currently available code has many of the
features needed for professional security consultants (mulitple IDS
evasion systems, huge set of custom payloads, integrated session logging,
automated capabilities, etc).

The current public version is 1.0 and available from the metasploit.com web 
site:

http://www.metasploit.com/releases.html

A snapshot of a development version and accompanying presentation is available 
from:

http://www.metasploit.com/hitb/

Please do not publicly link to the "HITB" version or otherwise make its 
presence known to the general public, there is a reason its been in development 
for a full month after release.

Other Software Required:
The only required dependency is Perl 5.6.0+
