Hi everyone, We (the dev team) have been crunching for a 3.2 release in early October, one of the things I want to improve is the module loader and caching systems. The idea is to make the framework much less memory hungry and to cache all of the fields which are not normally dynamic. So far, the best new module loader implementation requires a small change to the format of the Metasploit modules, one which is not backwards compatible.
Most Metasploit modules have the following syntax: --- module Msf class Exploit::Remote::Windows::Ftp::SomeOverflow < Exploit::Remote def initialize .. end end end --- The module format change would result in this becoming: --- class Metasploit3 < Msf::Exploit::Remote def initialize .. end end --- I was able to script up this change to the existing module tree, but third-party modules would need to be updated to match. This also solves the problem where modules which dont have a class path matching their directory structure are not loaded, which in turn makes it easier to add new third-party modules. Thoughts? -HD _______________________________________________ Framework-Hackers mailing list Framework-Hackers@spool.metasploit.com http://spool.metasploit.com/mailman/listinfo/framework-hackers
