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...

Speaking of Google..
I had the unfortunate fortune of working on an ad campaign recently. It brought to the fore many questions.. some of them were about this.

If I put an adword on "symantec", don't I breach their trademark, or Google does?

I doubt anyone would sue Google to find out, or be in courts for so long it won't matter any longer.

Annoying, but works both ways.
