Previously there was not the ability to restore the server proxy setting. This updates the code to do so. Additionally this also updates the documentation to note that Fetch payloads are incompatible with this module since they use HTTP connections that will be impacted by this module changing the server's HTTP proxy settings. There is no way around this.
Folder 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.
