Hi all, *What is this ?* This is new birth date feature for metasploit framework. Currently there is no date ( vulnerability disclosure date ) information for exploits listed in metasploit framework. This new feature will automatically update date information for the exploits. Once the date is updated for exploits you will be able to see it through the "Show exploits" and "info <exploit name>" commands in the MSFConsole. *How and to whom it will be useful?* This is very useful feature for everyone who is playing with exploits. Often the pen testers or any one who involved in testing exploits wants to try out recent exploits. As of now they need to manually go through the various websites to check out the disclosure date for vulnerabilities. Now they can see the vulnerability date corresponding to exploits in the msfconsole directly and hence save their valuable time concentrating on the actual work *How to enable this automatic birthdate feature for metasploit framework?* Its quite simple. Just take the back up of the MSF framework and proceed. You just have to replace following three files. ( Files are present in the zip file ) a) $framework$\msfconsole b) $framework$\lib\Msf\Module.pm c) $framework$\lib\Msf\TextUI.pm Once you replace this files, start msfconsole and type "help". You will see new command "update" with its description. Now just type "show exploits" , you will see one more field displaying "Unknown" which is in fact birth date for exploits. In order to automatically update this birth date for all the exploits , type "update" at msfconsole . After that you may have to restart msfconsole if any of exploits files date has been updated. After restarting msfconsole , now type "show exploits" and you will see the birth date for the exploits. Type "info <exploit name>" , you will see a new field called "birthdate" displaying date for that exploit. For more information on this feature , please refer to the attached document which explains about working of this feature and many more details... Moore , I hope you will integrate this feature to MSF for next release. Let me know if any of you have any problems , concerns regarding this. Happy Hunting :) Thanks all -- With Regards Nagareshwar -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
