The Metasploit framework doesn't sound as insecure as it seems.

As a pen-tester it's generally not safe to use any tool before testing in a isolated environment, before bringing into production side. Regards
Well, liveCDs are definitely safe, since you just reboot the machine and its like a fresh install. Of course, if your data was on the hard drive underneath, there's a risk that a hacker might mount and then play with it, but the simple solution is to take your data off first (or use a spare/test/non-vital machine). -- Neil. http://voidfx.net "Lord, grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to try to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I had to kill because they pissed me off." --Anonymous ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Audit your website security with Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner: Hackers are concentrating their efforts on attacking applications on your website.
