Hey, 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.
Thanks for the report. I imagine there are some changes we could make that would help reduce the memory load. I'm guessing we have some lingering references that the garbage collector isn't able to cleanup because it thinks they're still live. We'll add this to the list of things to look into.
