Chapter 14. Reinventing Metasploit
"One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that's trying to make you like everyone else" - Anonymous
After recalling the basics of Metasploit, we can now move further into the basic coding part of Metasploit. We will start with the basics of Ruby programming and understand the various syntaxes and semantics of it. This chapter will make it easy for you to write Metasploit modules. In this chapter, we will see how we can design and fabricate various custom Metasploit modules. We will also see how we can create custom post-exploitation modules, which will help us gain better control of the exploited machine.
Consider a scenario where the systems under the scope of the penetration test are very large in number, and we need to perform a post-exploitation function such as downloading a particular file from all the systems after exploiting them. Downloading a particular file from each system manually is time consuming and inefficient....
