Metasploit Hacking Tool To Get Services-Based Model

ancientribe writes "Metasploit hacking tool creator HD Moore told Dark Reading that the open-source hacking tool soon will come with back-end services-based features aimed at offloading resource-intensive penetration testing tasks. This is a departure for the software-oriented Metasploit, and Moore and company just may be on to something: it turns out commercial penetration testing tool vendors are looking at adding services-based versions of their software. Immunity Inc. will do so this year, and Core Security Technologies is considering doing so as well."

That's what she said!

"offloading resource-intensive penetration tests"

In my day we just called them botnets.
