Scouting report
Released Metasploit in 2003 and turned exploit development from scattered one-off code into a shared, modular framework every penetration tester now learns first. Later ran internet-wide scanning projects that mapped just how much of the internet is quietly exposed.
Curator’s note
Changed what a working exploit is worth by making them all free.
