At a heavily attended panel Wednesday at the Black Hat security conference here, HD Moore and "spoonm" unveiled the latest release of the Metasploit Framework, an exploit tool designed to quickly take over a variety of target platforms.

Both researchers demonstrated the tool "owning," or taking over, Mac OS X, Windows 2000 Server and Windows XP systems, although the duo used a VMWare virtual machine to speed the process. Metasploit even runs on a Sharp Zaurus PDA, which when equipped with a Wi-Fi card can be used to attack while mobile.
