Exploiting the module structure

It is essential to understand the exploit module structure, as it will help us analyze different exploit modules. Since the Metasploit Framework is an open source project, its development depends on contributions from the community. Developers from around the globe convert proof of concepts of various exploits into the Metasploit module so that they can be used by everyone. Hence, you can also contribute to the community by converting newly discovered exploits into modules. Also, there may be a situation where you need a particular exploit that is not in the framework. Knowledge about the exploit module structure will help you easily convert the exploit into a module. In this recipe, we will get to know the basic structure of a module.
