If you’re a fan of metasploit , you might be shocked to read this news ! Metasploit.com was Hacked ! well , I was kinda shocked too when I read the news about this. But What actually happened is Metasploit.com ’s not actually hacked , it was just someone was using an attack on the local area network of Metasploit’s hosting provider , called ARP spoofing . And the attacker had succesfully intercepted visitors to metasploit.com , and served them up with a page saying the site had been hacked !

Here’s the full story :

Monday morning, Metasploit.com was temporarily hijacked using an attack on the local area network of Metasploit’s hosting provider. Using what is technically known as ARP spoofing, the attacker was able to intercept visitors to Metasploit.com, and instead serve them up a page saying the site had been “hacked by sunwear ! just for fun. Users were then redirected to a Chinese forum with an image of the hack.

The Metasploit server itself wasn’t compromised, according to Moore, who fairly quickly fixed the vulnerability by hard-coding the right route for the packets.

But since some 250 other servers are hosted on the same local area network at the service provider, they remain at risk, according to Moore.

One can only hope for their sake that they don’t have the reputation of Moore and aren’t worth the time of a bored hacker.
