As a penetration tester, knowing how to write your own module, or simply adding a new target to an existing module, is a great skill to have.
This chapter will cover every detail that you need to know while working with exploits within the framework. We will not cover exploit development, an entire area of study in itself; we will use the available proof of concept (PoC) of exploits and see how they can be added to the framework. We will also learn about some important mixins that can ease the process of converting exploits into the Metasploit ...
