NIPrint

NIPrint (Network Instruments’ Print) Server for Microsoft’s Winsock is the

leader in a new generation of high performance 32-bit print servers based on

Windows sockets. NIPrint employs the industry-standard LPD/LPR protocol

to transfer print jobs to and from remote hosts and Windows personal

computers. Using the LPD/LPR protocol makes NIPrint inherently compatible

with the vast majority of Unix and other systems that implement LPD

services.

NIPrint can be used as a stand-alone printing utility and, when supplemented

by the TCP/IP Telnet and FTP programs provided with Microsoft 32 bit VxD

Winsock, it can create a very functional TCP/IP package that will satisfy the

majority of your networking needs.

NIPrint can enrich any commercial TCP/IP, X-windows, or client server

package, providing immediate, high-speed, reliable, bidirectional printing.

These printing features are often either overlooked or poorly implemented in

many commercial software packages. In either case, the NIPrint Server will

be an excellent addition to your networking utilities.

The Metasploit Framework

The Metasploit Framework is both a penetration testing system and a development platform for creating security tools and exploits. The framework is used by network security professionals to perform penetration tests, system administrators to verify patch installations, product vendors to perform regression testing, and security researchers world-wide. The framework is written in the Ruby programming language and includes components written in C and assembler.

What does it do?

The framework consists of tools, libraries, modules, and user interfaces. The basic function of the framework is a module launcher, allowing the user to configure an exploit module and launch it at a target system. If the exploit succeeds, the payload is executed on the target and the user is provided with a shell to interact with the payload. Hundreds of exploits and dozens of payload options are available.
