It was just a year ago that Rapid7 makers of a vulnerability management tool acquired the Metasploit open source penetration testing project. Along with Metasploit, Rapid7 also hired the driving ...

After seven years, Metasploit Framework, the popular open-source hacking and security tool, has been given a major update.

The first major milestone update to the open-source Metasploit Framework since 2011 is now available, making it easier for security researchers to test cyber-security defenses against exploits.

The Metasploit Framework itself will continue to be free and open source. The launch of Metasploit Community coincides with the second anniversary of Rapid7’s acquisition of the Metasploit project.

Metasploit released exploit modules for security issues in seven smaller, yet popular, open source software packages, including e-Learning software Moodle.

The move allows users of Core's enterprise-facing vulnerability analysis tool to tap directly into the open-source functionality of Metasploit to carry out simulated hacking attacks.
