Metasploit Auxiliary Module

Metasploit Auxiliary Module:

In Metasploit, any module that is not an exploit is an auxiliary module. Exploit modules always have a payload. Auxiliary modules are a fascinating feature of the framework allowing it to extend for a variety of purposes other than exploitation. ... This is a good example of an auxiliary module since it isn't an exploit.

We can do :

admin: Modules that modify, operate, or manipulate something on the target machine.

analyze: We initially created this folder for password-cracking modules that require analysis time.

client: We initially created this folder for an SMTP module for social-engineering purposes.

dos: Pretty self-explanatory: denial-of-service modules.

fuzzers: If your module is a fuzzer, this is where it belongs. Make sure to place it in the correct sub-directory based on the protocol.

gather: Modules that gather, collect or enumerate data from a single target.

scanner: Modules that use the Msf::Auxiliary::Scanner mixin almost always go here. Make sure to place yours in the correct sub-directory based on the protocol.

server: Modules that are servers.

sniffer: Modules that are sniffers.
