For those who like to keep up with evolving security threats, the link below will provide interesting reading, Metasploit menace inside your firewall. . . Wade Alcorn recently published a paper explaining the technical details behind Inter-protocol Exploitation. In his research he focused on using a web browser as a beachhead to launch Metasploit-style attacks. What this means is that any Javascript enabled web browser might be used to launch an attack against a service, for example a VoIP server, and gain complete control of the box. Generally exploits are executed inside a development framework such as Metasploit, or run directly from the code. But this time, the code would run inside the browser, using Javascript. And all of this takes place without exploiting any bugs in the browser itself. INTERVIEW
