Metasploit Framework 3.5.0 comes with over 600 exploits
The Metasploit Framework is a development platform for creating security tools and exploits. The framework is used by network security professionals to perform penetration tests, system administrators to verify patch installations, product vendors to perform regression testing, and security researchers world-wide.
Metasploit now has 613 exploit modules and 306 auxiliary modules, from 551 and 261 respectively in version 3.4.
