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."
Lick my solid golden eggs. By modding me down, I will have defeated you. By modding me up, you only strengthen me.

Linux just isn't ready for the desktop yet. It may be ready for the web servers that you nerds use to distribute your TRON fanzines and personal Dungeons and Dragons web-sights across the world wide web, but the average computer user isn't going to spend months learning how to use a CLI and then hours compiling packages so that they can get a workable graphic interface to check their mail with, especially not when they already have a Windows machine that does its job perfectly well and is backed by a major corporation, as opposed to Linux which is only supported by a few unemployed nerds living in their mother's basement somewhere. The last thing I want is a level 5 dwarf (haha) providing me my OS.
