I've been looking at this one too, but it is more than a year old and asfar as I know Metasploit has been completely rewritten since then. Is itstill up to date ? Or should I say, is it still worth the money ?

For web pentesting I can recommend the OWASP testing guide:http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Testing_Project
