Large-Scale Framework Maintenance and Modernization (Parts 1-9)

This is a comprehensive maintenance and modernization effort for the Metasploit Framework, delivered across 9 coordinated pull requests. The changes represent a significant cleanup, reorganization, and documentation improvement initiative across the entire codebase.

Major Changes

1. Module Reorganization and Cleanup

  • Mass migration of legacy exploits into dedicated legacy/ directory structure
  • Reorganization of modules across Windows, Linux, and Unix platforms
  • Updates to auxiliary scanners, post-exploitation modules, and payload modules
  • Cleanup and consolidation of redundant or outdated code

2. Documentation Overhaul

  • Extensive updates to module documentation files
  • New exploitation guides and usage instructions
  • Enhanced markdown documentation for features and capabilities
  • Updated Wiki pages and integration guides

3. Core Framework Enhancements

  • Updates to core libraries in lib/msf/ and lib/rex/
  • Improved protocol implementations (SMB, HTTP, LDAP, Kerberos, SNMP)
  • Enhanced Meterpreter functionality and extensions
  • Refined authentication and session handling mechanisms
  • Updates to payload and exploit handlers

4. Infrastructure Improvements

  • Enhanced testing infrastructure including Python-based tests
  • Updated CI/CD configurations
  • Modified build scripts and project configurations
  • Kubernetes and Docker-related updates
  • Updated Ruby gem dependencies

5. Support Resources

  • Updated data files including templates, wordlists, and MIBs
  • Modified binary files and shellcode templates
  • Revised configuration files and external resources
  • Updated test fixtures and supporting infrastructure

Technical Impact

  • Maintains backward compatibility while modernizing implementations
  • Improves code organization and maintainability
  • Enhances documentation coverage and quality
  • Streamlines development and testing processes
  • Prepares framework for future enhancements

This large-scale update focuses primarily on technical debt reduction, code organization, and documentation improvements rather than adding new features. The changes touch virtually every aspect of the framework while maintaining stability and compatibility.

Implements comprehensive Python migration infrastructure and module reorganization:
- Add Python framework scaffolding and test harnesses
- Create automated Ruby-to-Python conversion tooling
- Relocate legacy modules to dedicated directories
- Update documentation and library components
- Migrate exploit, auxiliary, and post modules
- Synchronize module directory with upstream changes

This represents a complete 9-part migration preparation for transitioning the Metasploit Framework from Ruby to Python.
