Security testers will release a free tool that simplifies and automates hacking of Oracle databases, at the Black Hat Conference in Las Vegas this week. The Oracle database is popular with corporations and governments for recording large volumes of online transactions. The hacking tool was developed by the open source Metasploit cooperative, which will host a seminar at the conference. According to the Metasploit website, students will learn how to launch widescale client-side attacks, operate a malicious wireless access point, generate backdoors, bypass intrusion prevention systems, and automate the post-exploitation process. The course shows how to use new features in the Metasploit software for penetration tests.
