MetaSploit launches version 3.1

Improves Windows GUI - Supports IPhone ...

The Metasploit Project released version 3.1 of its exploit development and attack framework. Key additions include a better Windows interface and support for the iPhone.

Metasploit, the brainchild of H D Moore, is an open source tool that outlines attack vectors. In a blog post announcing the launch of Metasploit 3.1 Moor said multiple researchers have contributed code to Metasploit.

Among the key features of Metasploit 3.1:

• A graphical user interface, full support for the Windows platform, and over 450 modules, including 265 remote exploits.
  
  
• A bevy of new exploits. Moore notes: “Notable exploits in the 3.1 release include a remote, unpatched kernel-land exploit for Novell Netware, written by toto, a series of 802.11 fuzzing modules that can spray the local airspace with malformed frames, taking out a wide swath of wireless-enabled devices, and a battery of exploits targeted at Borland’s InterBase product line.”
  
  
• Code from the “Hacking the iPhone” effort.
  

I qoute from MetaSploit website:

"The Metasploit Project announced today the free, world-wide availability of version 3.1 of their exploit development and attack framework. The latest version features a graphical user interface, full support for the Windows platform, and over 450 modules, including 265 remote exploits. "Metasploit 3.1 consolidates a year of research and development, integrating ideas and code from some of the sharpest and most innovative folks in the security research community" said H D Moore, project manager. Moore is referring the numerous research projects that have lent code to the framework."
