Scalable Distributed Attack Platform

There has been a good ammount of progress over the last few days some of the key advances are detailed below.

• XML Merging of nmap results has been completed.
• Unit tests have been written for the merging using XMLUnit.
• Discovered the db_autopwn feature in metasploit, should prove very useful.
  Using SQLite as the DBS, since neither postgres or MySQL are easily accessible on the cluster.
• Modified the autopwn feature to use the meterpreter instead of a generic command shell payload and also got it to run an auto script.
• Started to modify the scraper script written by hdm.
• Figured out running nessus from commandline.
  Although there may be issues with running Nessus on the cluster due to not being able to define the install directory and  having to run the server daemond.
• Currently running some tests with John the Ripper on the cluster, will definitly need to implement dJohn or similar.
• Have decided if time to connect to milworm to find more potential exploits.
