Ask HN: Is there a free alternative to Metasploit?

3 pointsby nobody271over 6 years ago
I&#x27;m not afraid to get my hands dirty with C&#x2F;C++ but that&#x27;s quite a challenge because I usually write in C# and JavaScript. Working with memory and call stacks directly is not something I do but it&#x27;s something I could start doing with a little practice. The problem is I suspect a lot of exploits can be complicated or at least use language&#x2F;protocol subtleties that a novice in the language, like myself, might not be keen to.<p>I&#x27;m trying to figure out if I have a good idea for a product . Ideally, a large part of my product (40%) would just be a wrapper around metasploit. So, umm, can you do that? I&#x27;m guessing no. But their exploit code is open source so could you copy or port only the exploits you are interested in?<p>Any advice beyond extremely basic noise (you should talk to a lawyer in your area) is welcome. Thanks!
