MSFU Updates – June 2011
Over this past month, we have put a great deal of time into bringing our free online course, Metasploit Unleashed in line with BackTrack 5. The majority of these changes are cosmetic in nature but they should help to reduce confusion for newcomers to Metasploit and BackTrack while ensuring a consistent look throughout. We have also taken this opportunity to do more functionality verification in the course.

MSFU Updates – May 2011
This month, even with the rampant development and release of BackTrack 5, we still devoted some time to updating Metasploit Unleashed. The Metasploit team is making a great deal of progress switching over to post-exploitation modules so we focused entirely on them this month and added many to the Metasploit Module Reference section.

BackTrack 5 on a Motorola Xoom
In the past few days we have been toying with some Motorola hardware, and have managed to get a basic build of BackTrack 5 (+ toolchain) on a Motorola Xoom. The possibilities look exciting as we are slowly building several experimental arm packages. Our team does not have much experience with the Android OS nor ARM hardware, but so far – so good. We will not promise an ARM release on May 10th, as this new “experiment” was not planned in any way – but we’ll do our best.

The Art of Human Hacking
It’s hard to believe that the social-engineer.org project began 14 months ago. This project started from a simple idea to build the world’s first framework for social engineers. In these 14 months, this project has grown into the leading resource for all real social engineering education. The CTF that we held at Defcon 18 proved beyond doubt that this resource was greatly required.

An interesting submission in from the Exploit Database – a Godaddy workspace XSS vulnerability. Although we did not post it (live site), the vulnerability seems real, and definitely worth mentioning.

A brief time ago, an exciting GUI front-end for Metasploit named Armitage was released. For being an initial release, Armitage is very polished and so we knew we had to add it to the BackTrack respositories.
