Contributing modules in GO can be achieved in a few simple steps as outlined below. As for supported GO version, we have tested with 1.11.2, no promised for version 2.

1. Location

• Select the appropriate module path based on the type of module you are trying to contribute
• Be sure to include appropriate module documentation under here
• Test your documentation is correct by executing info -d

2. Execution

• Include this line at the top of your module: //usr/bin/env go run "$0" "$@"; exit "$?"
• Ensure your file is an executable file

3. Setup

• Initialize your module with the module metadata:

import "metasploit/module"
func main() {
  metadata := &module.Metadata{
    Name: "<module name",
    Description: "<describe>",
    Authors: []string{"<author 1>", "<author 2>"},
    Date: "<date module written",
    Type:"<module type>",
    Privileged:  <true|false>,
    References:  []module.Reference{},
    Options: map[string]module.Option{	
      "<option 1":     {Type: "<type>", Description: "<description>", Required: <true|false>, Default: "<default>"},		
      "<option 2":     {Type: "<type>", Description: "<description>", Required: <true|false>, Default: "<default>"},
  }}

  module.Init(metadata, <the entry method to your module>)
}

FULL EXAMPLE

Note: Above does not outline the full potential list of metadata options

Currently supported module types:

• remote_exploit
• remote_exploit_cmd_stager
• capture_server
• dos
• single_scanner
• single_host_login_scanner
• multi_scanner

4. Shared Code

• For code that is shared specific to your module create a directory in your module directory: shared/src/ metasploit will automatically add these to the GOPATH
• For code that you think could be used across modules, add code here
• 3rd party libs aren't currently supported but we welcome patches

5. Finalize

• Test your Pull Request
• Create a Pull Request
• No coding standard here, be sure to gofmt
