Re: Vulnerability/Penetration Testing Tools

[greybrimstone () aim com]

HD,
    Metasploit has already been added to my archive of must haves. I'm 
primarly interested in tools that would in effect combine a nessus like 
front end to something like core impact/metasploit. Any ideas on 
something like that? Do I need to write my own?

 You should check out the Metasploit Framework:
- http://metasploit.com/projects/Framework/

When I viewed the online demo of SAINT Exploit in December of 2005, 
nearly
all of their exploit modules had names very similar to the ones found 
in
version 2.5 of the Metasploit Framework. The demo has been updated 
since
then and a handful of new exploits have been mixed in while others had
their name changed. Oh, and their placement of a Google Adword on
"metasploit" was a nice touch...
