"Slachdot has learned of shocking and potentially devastating news. It would appear that two packages are circulating on the internet, one being the source code to Metasploit Framework 4.0, and the other being the source code to PwnCraft? Beta. At this time, it is hard to establish whether or not full code has leaked, and this will undoubtedly remain the situation until an attempt is made to compile them. Metasploit Corporation are currently unavailable for comment surrounding this leak so we have no official response from them at the time of writing. This leak is a shock not only to Slachdot, but to the wider IT industry. The ramifications of this leak are far reaching and devastating. This reporter does not wish to be sensationalist, but the number of industries and critical systems that are affected by these technologies that could be damaged by new exploits found in this source code is something that doesn't bare thinking about. We ask that for the wider benefit of the IT community that members and readers support Metasploit Corporation by forwarding anything they know about the leak to the Metasploit Corporation's Anti-Piracy department. Update: Metasploit Corporation's Johnny Doh has confirmed the leak stating: "Today we became aware that incomplete portions of Metasploit Framework 4.0 and PwnCraft source code was illegally made available on the Internet" Any torrent link anyone? /JA https://www.securinfos.info -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
