Saving configurations in Metasploit

Most of the time, I forget to switch to the workspace I created for a particular scan and ended up merging results in the default workspace. However, such problems can be avoided using the save command in Metasploit. Suppose you have shifted the workspace and customized your prompts and other things. You can hit the save command to save the configuration. This means that next time you fire up Metasploit, you will land up with the same parameters and workspace you left behind, as shown in the following screenshot:

Yup! Everything was collected in the configuration file. No more hassle in switching workspaces all the time from now on.
