#38097: metasploit2, metasploit3: Virus found during install ---------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: turbominicooper@… | Owner: opendarwin.org@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: metasploit2, metasploit3 | ---------------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by egall@…): Replying to [comment:4 turbominicooper@…]:
is it 100% necessary to include a trojan virus... sounds dodgy to me??
I mean that's the whole point of the metasploit ports: virus and vulnerability testing. They shouldn't harm your own computer unless you don't have a clue what you're doing. Although maybe the examples and payloads and stuff could get moved to a `+examples` variant or something that isn't set by default? That way users like you who are concerned about virus warnings could just install normally, but people who do need the payloads could just select the variant then. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38097#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
