Security Forest

 

Security Forest is an exploitation framework of similar vain to Metasploit.  Unfortunately the graphical user interface within this framework only comes with a few (11) point and click exploits:

 

 

Security Forest is available from SecurityForest.com

 

The one real benefit of this framework is that once set up you also download hundreds of exploits that have been pre-indexed for you allowing you to try and find an exploit that may be useful for you and compile it yourself.  This is really of benefit if you have no internet connection as you have a nice library of exploits to try first before you need to delve a little bit further to gain newer ones.

 

Installation:

 

Install to an easily defined directory.  You will need to edit the settings.txt file to make sure the directory you installed it to reflects the information in this file i.e. if install in the root of c:

 

C:\SecurityForest\ExploitTree\
#The above path must point to the ExploitTree directory created by ExploitTree.pl or ExploitTree.exe
#Example: D:\Data\tools\SF\ExploitTree\
#Don't forget the trailing backslash "\"
#Don't add any spaces after the "\"

 

Note:- Follow the instruction after the # to the letter otherwise it will not work.

 

Updating:

 

This is very easy, although I have found the servers you connect to somewhat unreliable.  You just open a command prompt and follow the syntax below:

 

Note:- Obviously if its your first time you need to select option 1, option 2 otherwise
