At Black Hat 2007 and Defcon 15, Valsmith and I gave a talk entitled "Tactical Exploitation". This talk introduced a tactical approach to penetration testing that does not rely on exploiting known vulnerabilities. During the talk, we used a combination of new tools and lesser-known techniques to walk through the process of compromising a target network. The materials for this talk are now online, including the slides, white paper, and videos. These materials can be found online at: - http://metasploit.com/confs/ For those who missed both the talks or couldn't stay for all of one, the white paper does a good job of covering the things we discussed: - http://metasploit.com/confs/blackhat2007/tactical_paper.pdf Most of the exploits and tools can be found in the trunk version of the Metasploit Framework. These will be merged into the stable tree over the next week or so (along with some HOWTOs on the Metasploit Blog). To grab the latest version of the Metasploit Framework, you can use the following command: $ svn co http://metasploit.com/svn/framework3/trunk/ msf3-trunk $ ./msf3-trunk/msfconsole Thanks to everyone who came to our talks! -HD
