space-r7Folder Purpose
This folder is primarily used to hold documentation for Metasploit's various modules, as well as the developers guide
at developers_guide.pdf.
Metasploit Developer Documentation
Metasploit is actively supported by a community of hundreds of contributors and thousands of users world-wide. As a result, the accompanying documentation moves quite quickly.
The best source of documentation on Metasploit development is https://docs.metasploit.com/. There are many treasures there, such as:
- Evading Antivirus
- How Payloads Work
- How to use Datastore Options
- How to write browser exploits with BES
- How to write a bruteforcer
...and many, many more.
