Hi there,


The NMAP book is a second edition i think, about an official book.. As 
far as i know there's plenty of user and developer documentation and 1 
book from syngress thus a few shorter books / long papers from other 
sources as well :-) It's good reading stuff but you gotta give yourself 
time to do it. Of course with all the new features it's hard to keep up 
with that material, but most of it is good to read to get a good point 
of view in how Metasploit is working.

About Metasploit 3.3, why don't youcheckout the subversion / trunk of 
it? That has the newest features including reflective dll injection etc, 
and of course there's also some very good contributions like xbackdoor 
which i'm not sure has been added officially though i like the concept :-)

So when will it become stable? Only time can tell though with 
Metasploit, stable doesn't really mean anything to me :-) There's stable 
if you want to be "stable" and outdated or the trunk version if you want 
to be updated but possibly have a few bugs which the devteam are really 
good at fixing fast ;-)

I'm not sure if they will write a book on their own, perhaps i guess. 
Though i do know that they make quite a lot of presentations, slides and 
papers about it!


Best Regards,
MaXe - No i'm not a dev but i guess i answered your question 
sufficiently ;-)
