- Add python as an optional depends for external payloads
From the ChangeLog:
The first version of the Framework that supports third-party module
development. This release includes the DLL injection payloads (VNC), a
"polymorphic" x86 decoder, and a handful of new modules.
The Metasploit Framework is an advanced open-source platform for developing,
testing, and using exploit code. This release consists of mostly bug fixes
and user interface enhancements. Some highlights in this release:
- Many Cygwin-specific bugs have been fixed
- The console interface has improved tab completion
- The logging feature now works as advertised
- Improved msfpescan can now read memdump output
- Three new exploit modules have been added
- The memdump and socketNinja tools are now included
testing, and using exploit code. This release includes 18 exploits and 27
payloads; many of these exploits are either the only ones publicly available
or just much more reliable than anything else out there. The Framework will
run on any modern system that has a working Perl interpreter, the Windows
installer includes a slimmed-down version of the Cygwin environment.
