Metasploit's 2017 Roadmap Review

In 2017, we published our first open roadmap for Metasploit development. How did we do? For achievements:

  • The Metasploit data model backend: we did a lot of design work on this, and got a couple of initial Proof-of-Concept project built. You can see a video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvuy6A-ie1g. In the mean time, we started merging parts of the main development branch

  • The first pass of external session handling landed with the metasploit-proxy project.

  • Independent modules that run in isolation did land, along with a hand full of new modules demonstrating the advantages of the design, including multi-language support.

  • The ruby_smb project made a lot of progress, with support incorporated into several existing modules. Full client-side support is also available for testing now.

  • Native iOS and macOS support landed, along with many new IoT and router exploits.

  • Meterpreter shrank almost 4x thanks to the new cryptTLV packet obfuscation support, and the removal of OpenSSL.
