Metasploit Community Edition, a software developed by Rapid 7that helps security and IT professionals identify security issues, has been released.

Metasploit Community Edition combines the open source Metasploit Framework with a basic version of the commercial user interface available in Metasploit Pro to provide an entry-level response to the evolving threat landscape.

"It is critical for organizations to gain insight into the worsening threat landscape and how it relates to their assets; however, the cost, complexity and resources involved to gauge said threats frequently prevent IT from taking the required actions," said Andrew Hay, Senior Security Analyst, Enterprise Security Practice.

Among the features available in the Metasploit Community Edition 4.1 we can mention a simple graphical user interface, integration with vulnerability scanners, network discovery, and a module browser.
