Major Framework Modernization and Reorganization (Parts 1-9)

Overview

This comprehensive pull request represents a systematic modernization effort of the Metasploit Framework, primarily focused on migrating from Ruby to Python while reorganizing the codebase for improved maintainability. This is part of a larger 9-part series of changes that spans across multiple framework components.

Key Changes

Language Migration

  • Implementing systematic Ruby to Python migration infrastructure
  • Creating dedicated legacy directories for existing Ruby code
  • Adding Python migration tools and helper scripts
  • Setting up new Python-based framework components
  • Maintaining backward compatibility during transition

Module Management

  • Relocating legacy modules to dedicated directory structures
  • Reorganizing exploit, auxiliary, and post modules
  • Consolidating related modules by functionality and platform
  • Adding new vulnerability scanners and exploit modules
  • Enhancing credential gathering and post-exploitation capabilities

Architecture Improvements

  • Updating core framework components and libraries
  • Enhancing payload handling and module loading
  • Improving protocol implementations (SMB, HTTP, RMI, Kerberos)
  • Streamlining authentication mechanisms
  • Updating database management components

Development Infrastructure

  • Adding comprehensive test cases and specifications
  • Enhancing documentation organization and formatting
  • Updating build configurations and deployment files
  • Adding migration-specific documentation and guides
  • Implementing new Python framework testing infrastructure

Platform-Specific Updates

  • Modifying Windows, Linux, and SCADA system exploit modules
  • Updating architecture-specific code (x86, x64, ARM)
  • Enhancing platform-specific payload generators and encoders
  • Improving cross-platform compatibility

Supporting Components

  • Updating SNMP MIB definitions and templates
  • Revising wordlists and exploit-specific data files
  • Standardizing module documentation formats
  • Updating Ruby dependencies and version constraints

Impact

This refactoring effort maintains existing functionality while preparing the framework for future improvements through better organization and a transition to Python. The changes preserve access to legacy code while setting up a more maintainable and modern codebase structure.

Complete migration of Ruby-based modules to new Python framework structure. 
Key changes:
- Move Ruby modules to dedicated legacy/ directory
- Add Python migration tooling and support files
- Update documentation and module support files
- Preserve backwards compatibility for legacy modules
- Reorganize auxiliary modules, exploits and core components

Part of initiative to modernize framework's codebase.
