Metasploit for Windows

the_hutch

I'm curious if anyone has every used Metasploit on Windows? I really wouldn't think it would be nearly as powerful, since a lot of Metasploits capabilities come from integrating a number of opensource (frequently linux only) security tools. Any experiences with it?

I used it years ago and it worked fine. Exploits are always done over the network and that means there's no fundamental reason the source machine needs to be any particular OS, or even processor architecture. The exploits are open source and therefore portable. My understanding of the very purpose of the framework is than any system that can run the application itself can use the exploits in the framework.

Awesome. Thanks for the insight. I'm going to give it a shot. I currently have Nessus running on a windows system, and I would like to be able to integrate the scan results into MSF.
