As far as automated tools go, bah, manually exploiting the
holes is certainly the way to go. But, the automated tools
usually produce nice pretty reports that you can show the
client. They just LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEE pretty reports with many
bright colors and such for the good stuff and dark "hacker
like" colors for the bad stuff :-)

Why is manually exploiting holes the way to go? More so what do you mean
by manually? Writing the exploit yourself? (Few consultants can do that,
and even fewer can do that good). So maybe manually means downloading
hax0rw4ng495's exploit off bugtraq and using that? Or?
So I am curious what was the last SMB/RPC exploit that you saw that took
advantage of SMB/RPC fragmentation for stealth purposes of evading
IDS/IPS systems? I cant think of any that have done that but I can think
of an automated exploit system (Canvas) that does just that.
Or when was the last time you saw a good RPC remote exploit that was
able to take advantage of all known attack vectors?
139,445,dynamicport,rpc over http, bla bla bla. But again both of the
automated attack systems (canvas/core) do just that.
I'm playing devils advocate so its not that I completely disagree but I
think for the average consultant (99% of consultants) using an automated
solution like Core/Canvas is going to do far more for them.
