[framework] Metasploit Framework 3.0 Beta 2 (SVN)

[H D Moore]

Hi everyone,

I am happy to annouce that the second (and possibly last) Beta release of 
version 3.0 is now available for download. 

If you would like to discuss the beta release with other users 
please subscribe to the framework-beta mailing list by sending a blank 
email to framework-beta-subscribe[at]metasploit.com. Please keep all 
replies related to the beta release off of the main framework 
mailing list in order to spare the bandwidth of those not interested.

Downloads for all platforms can be found here:
 - http://metasploit.com/projects/Framework/msf3/#download

Unix users may need to install the openssl zlib and dl ruby modules for 
the Framework to load. If you are using Ubuntu run the following 
commands:
# apt-get install libzlib-ruby
# apt-get install libopenssl-ruby
# apt-get install libdl-ruby

User of other distributions or Unix flavors may want to grab the latest 
version of ruby from www.ruby-lang.org and build it from source.

Windows users will need to exit out of any running Cygwin-based 
applications before running the installer or using the Framework. We 
really tried to work with the native ruby interpreter for Windows but 
numerous io/readline/stdin issues came up and we will try again once the 
code base gets a little more stable.

The release packages now include Subversion repository information 
allowing to synchronize your Beta 2 installation with the live 
development tree. The Windows installer includes a "msfupdate" script 
that uses Subversion to download the latest updates but Unix users will 
need to install Subversion change into the framework directory and 
execute 'svn update'.

On Unix systems Subversion will complain about the self-signed certificate 
in use at metasploit.com. Please verify that the fingerprint matches the 
text below before accepting it:
