This is the folder where all of Metasploit's modules live. These modules are scripts in Ruby that interface with Metasploit itself to perform some specific task. There are various types of modules, such as `exploit` modules to exploit a vulnerability and gain a shell, `auxiliary` to perform a non-shell gaining activity, `payloads` for Metasploit's various payloads (which are also modules), and `post` for post exploitation modules.
