Pre-built Metasploit 3

For those having difficulty with building their own Metasploitable 3 server, a pre-built version can be found and downloaded from GitHub at https://github.com/brimstone/metasploitable3/releases.

This version of Metasploitable 3 was built by Brimstone (Matt Robinson) and is downloadable as an .ova file (Metasploitable3-0.1.4.ova) at only 211 MB.
