Add an explicit require for the new cert_provider in framework.rb
in case it has not yet been loaded.
This should address the Travis failure on initial PR, although the
gem version in socket has not been updated, so this might take a
bit to propagate. In the end, if the dependency already gives us
this functionality by the time we call Rex::Socket::Ssl then this
commit can safely be dropped
Msf relies on Rex::Socket to create TLS certificates for services
hosted in the framework and used by some payloads. These certs are
flagged by NIDS - snort sid 1-34864 and such.
Now that Rex::Socket can accept a @@cert_provider from the Msf
namespace, a more robust generation routine can be used by all TLS
socket services, provided down from Msf to Rex, using dependencies
which Rex does not include.
This work adds the faker gem into runtime dependencies, creates an
Msf::Exploit::Remote::Ssl::CertProvider namespace, and provides
API compatible method invocations with the Rex version, but able
to generate higher entropy certs with more variables, options, etc.
This should reduce the hit rate against NIDS on the wire, reducing
pesky blue team interference until we slip up some other way. Also,
with the ability to generate different cert types, we may want to
look at extending this effort to probide a more comprehensive key
oracle to Framework and consumers.
Testing:
None yet, internal tests pending.
Travis should fail as this requires rex-socket #8.
Because we do not always update the version number, multiple releases have
shown version string, which is not useful for helping debug issues, or for
knowing what features are enabled.
This adds the git hash or reads from a file a copy of the git hash (useful for
doing packaged builds without git) so that it is clear the origin of a
particular metasploit-framework version.

`Msf::Framework#threads?` returns whether `Msf::Framework#threads` was
ever initialized. If `Msf::Framework#threads?` is true, then threads
need to be cleaned up, while if it is false then no threads need to be
cleaned up from the current framework.
