Rex Layout

Raptor Description

Raptor's primary purpose will be to provide all the communication methods needed for Metasploit. This includes Socket level code as well as protocol implmenetations. Raptor should be as standalone as possible. Other Gems should dep Raptor not the other way around.

Exploit Helper

Tentative name for another new Gem. This Gem will focus on code that is designed to assist in the Exploitation process but is not key to communicating over services or implementing a specific protocol. Examples would be the ropbuilder, SEH libraries, egghunter, etc.

Binary Manipulation

Placeholder name for another Gem centered entirely around the Binary parsing and Manipulation. This includes all the different parsing libraries for the various executable formats.

Meterpreter Client

Tenative name for a Meterpreter client-side API. This code is currently rolled together with the rest of Rex. Meterpreter itself is already a seperate repo. The client should just be a gem. (This may be integrated into MsfCore instead of a seperate Gem. Investigate Further)

Metasploit Core

The core lbiraries of the Metasploit Framework. If the code has to do with running and maintaing the functions of the Framework rather than doing tasks inside a module, it probably belongs here.

/dev/null

see here

These are things which are not needed anymore and should be killed with fire.

wtf?

These are the last few odd-men out. Currently unsure of where these things should move as we clear out Rex and dance around it's burnt out corpse.
