An anonymous reader writes "The Metasploit Project just released version 2.2 of the Metasploit Framework. This release includes a VNC server payload that can be used with almost any of the Windows exploits. The scary thing about this payload is that the VNC server executes as a new thread in the exploited process; without writing any files to the disk drive. Is this the end as we know it for simple remote command shell exploits? A couple articles have already mentioned this project."
