mleo2003 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashd...-Sold-To-Rapid7 Just saw this come across the reader, and I'm wondering what this will mean for other projects that include this utility, like BackTrack.

digip Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 HD Moore also joined Rapid7 and said the program will stay open source, just that now they will have a team for regular updates and quality assurance. I wouldn't expect much to change community wise other than better support and more frequent updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put money on it going the way Nessus has with a "ProfessionalFeed Subscription" for the latest exploits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Listening to the Risky Business podcast with HDM it sounds like he is committed to keeping it all open and while I don't know him personally, what I know of him I think he will keep his word on it.
