RE: Core Impact vs. Canvas vs. Metasploit

I have Core Impact and it's gui is very easy to use; along with A-Z
automation (scan, exploit, and load mini shell agent), you can also just
drag any exploit onto a target and whamo!  It doesn't even break the
service you're exploiting; at this point, you can drag and drop an
agent; then you can automatically uninstall the agent as well.  Great
tool but just very $$$$$$.

Damien Dinh

hi,
    i have been using CANVAS and metasploit, CANVAS has a better GUI
than metasploit, which impress me the most.
    i haven't CORE, so i have no idea.

Hi,


For those who have been using one or more of the subj. products -


How do the products compare? What are the key technical
adv/disadvantages of each product?


The cost of the products is different. There must be something about
the technical part that is significantly different. I'm trying to figure
that out.


My personal experience - both canvas and core support advanced agent
chaining, modules are python-based.


I'm not sure how level2-3 agents in core map to canvas's helium but
level0 seem to be pretty similar in the way syscalls are proxied/socket
reuse (strikingly similar, i'd say :)


Encoders are similar in all three, e.g. xor, chunk, unicode/widechar.
Is the price the only differentiator?
