After two weeks of testing the latest Exploit Pack, here’s the bottom line: it’s a capable framework for simulating real-world attacks, but it’s not a plug-and-play tool. The interface is cleaner than Metasploit in some areas, and the built-in shellcode generator works reliably. However, the documentation lags behind, and exploit reliability varies. Best for seasoned pentesters who value modularity over automation. Unique value: Custom shellcode encoding and manual ROP
