Metasploit creator: why CVEs won’t save you in 2025

In this episode of The Hacker’s Cache, Kyser Clark sits down with HD Moore, the legendary creator of Metasploit and Founder & CEO of runZero, to discuss why relying on CVEs is putting organizations at risk in 2025.

They unpack the truth about vulnerabilities that never get CVEs, the hidden dangers of SSH exposures, and why attackers are outpacing defenders through innovation. HD also shares bold takes on AI’s role in cybersecurity, the over-reliance on tools and certifications, and why exposing version numbers might actually make systems safer. This episode is packed with insights every ethical hacker, pentester, and cybersecurity professional needs to hear.
