Mastering Metasploit

Developing custom modules

Let us dig deep into the process of writing a module. Metasploit has various modules such as payloads, encoders, exploits, NOP generators, and auxiliaries. In this section, we will cover the essentials of developing a module; then, we will look at how we can actually create our own custom modules.

In this section, we will discuss development for auxiliary and post-exploitation modules. Additionally, we will cover core exploit modules in the next chapter. Coming back to this chapter, let us discuss the essentials of module building in detail.
