Autosploit hacking tool was developed aiming to automate the compromising of remote hosts by collecting targets and using Shodan.io API. Users can define its platform search queries like Apache, IIS and so forth to gather targets to be attacked. After gathering the targets, the tool uses Metasploit modules of its exploit component to compromise the hosts. The compromised devices can be used to hack Internet entities, mine cryptocurrencies, or be recruited into a botnet for DDoS attacks. The release of the tool is not a new attack vector itself according to Gavin Millard, Technical Director at Tenable.”]
