Memory leaks in msf3

The db_autopwn code needs to be modified to only process a specific number of exploit modules at once. Right now, it fires off everything at the same time until the list is empty, resulting in the memory use you are seeing. This code will be updated (soon) to have a psuedo-scheduler and a max concurrent exploit option. Thanks for the report! -HD On Tuesday 28 November 2006 13:56, nnp wrote:
When running msf3 using db_nmap or db_autopwn with large inputs has anyone else gotten out of memory errors? I don't know ruby so I have no idea what the story with garbage collection and memory leaks is but here is the error.
