# Hello, World!
Thanks for your interest in making Metasploit -- and therefore, the
world -- a better place!
Are you about to report a bug? Sorry to hear it. Here's our [Issue tracker].
Please try to be as specific as you can about your problem; include steps
to reproduce (cut and paste from your console output if it's helpful) and
what you were expecting to happen.
Are you about to report a security vulnerability in Metasploit itself?
How ironic! Please take a look at Rapid7's [Vulnerability
Disclosure Policy](https://www.rapid7.com/disclosure.jsp), and send
your report to security@rapid7.com using our [PGP key].
Are you about to contribute some new functionality, a bug fix, or a new
Metasploit module? If so, read on...
world -- a better place! Before you get started, review our
[Code of Conduct]. There are mutliple ways to help,
not just writing code:
- [Submit bugs and feature requests] with detailed information about your issue or idea.
- [Help fellow users with open issues] or [help fellow committers test recent pull requests].
- [Report a security vulnerability in Metasploit itself] to Rapid7.
- Submit an updated or brand new module! We are always eager for exploits, scanners, and new
features. Set up a [development environment], then head over to ExploitDB to look for
[proof-of-concept exploits] that might make a good module.
# Contributing to Metasploit
What you see here in CONTRIBUTING.md is a bullet point list of the do's
and don'ts of how to make sure *your* valuable contributions actually
make it into Metasploit's master branch.
If you care not to follow these rules, your contribution **will** be
closed. Sorry!
This is intended to be a **short** list. The [wiki] is much more
exhaustive and reveals many mysteries. If you read nothing else, take a
look at the standard [development environment setup] guide
and Metasploit's [Common Coding Mistakes].
Here's a short list of do's and don'ts to make sure *your* valuable contributions actually make
it into Metasploit's master branch. If you care not to follow these rules, your contribution
**will** be closed. Sorry!
## Code Contributions
* **Do** stick to the [Ruby style guide].
* **Do** get [Rubocop] relatively quiet against the code you are adding or modifying.
* **Do** stick to the [Ruby style guide] and use [Rubocop] to find common style issues.
* **Do** follow the [50/72 rule] for Git commit messages.
* **Don't** use the default merge messages when merging from other branches.
* **Do** license your code as BSD 3-clause, BSD 2-clause, or MIT.
* **Do** create a [topic branch] to work on instead of working directly on `master`.
If you do not send a PR from a topic branch, the history of your PR will be
lost as soon as you update your own master branch. See
https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/8000 for an example of
this in action.
* **Do** create a [topic branch] to work on instead of working directly on `master` to preserve the
history of your pull request. See [PR#8000] for an example of losing commit history as soon as
you update your own master branch.
### Pull Requests
* **Do** target your pull request to the **master branch**. Not staging, not develop, not release.
* **Do** target your pull request to the **master branch**.
* **Do** specify a descriptive title to make searching for your pull request easier.
* **Do** include [console output], especially for witnessable effects in `msfconsole`.
* **Do** list [verification steps] so your code is testable.
* **Do** [reference associated issues] in your pull request description.
* **Do** write [release notes] once a pull request is landed.
* **Don't** leave your pull request description blank.
* **Don't** abandon your pull request. Being responsive helps us land your code faster.
Pull requests [PR#2940] and [PR#3043] are a couple good examples to follow.
Pull requests [PR#9966] is a couple good examples to follow.
#### New Modules
* **Do** run `tools/dev/msftidy.rb` against your module and fix any errors or warnings that come up.
- It would be even better to set up `msftidy.rb` as a [pre-commit hook].
* **Do** use the many module mixin [API]s. Wheel improvements are welcome; wheel reinventions, not so much.
* **Do** set up `msftidy` to fix any errors or warnings that come up as a [pre-commit hook].
* **Do** use the many module mixin [API]s.
* **Don't** include more than one module per pull request.
* **Do** include instructions on how to setup the vulnerable environment or software.
* **Do** include [Module Documentation](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/wiki/Generating-Module-Documentation) showing sample run-throughs.
#### Scripts
* **Don't** submit new [scripts]. Scripts are shipped as examples for
automating local tasks, and anything "serious" can be done with post
modules and local exploits.
* **Do** include [Module Documentation] showing sample run-throughs.
* **Don't** submit new [scripts]. Scripts are shipped as examples for automating local tasks, and
anything "serious" can be done with post modules and local exploits.
#### Library Code
* **Do** write [RSpec] tests - even the smallest change in library land can thoroughly screw things up.
* **Do** write [RSpec] tests - even the smallest change in a library can break existing code.
* **Do** follow [Better Specs] - it's like the style guide for specs.
* **Do** write [YARD] documentation - this makes it easier for people to use your code.
* **Don't** fix a lot of things in one pull request. Small fixes are easier to validate.
@ -84,44 +58,44 @@ Pull requests [PR#2940] and [PR#3043] are a couple good examples to follow.
#### Bug Fixes
* **Do** include reproduction steps in the form of verification steps.
* **Do** include a link to any corresponding [Issues] in the format of
`See #1234` in your commit description.
* **Do** link to any corresponding [Issues] in the format of `See #1234` in your commit description.
## Bug Reports
* **Do** report vulnerabilities in Rapid7 software directly to security@rapid7.com.
* **Do** write a detailed description of your bug and use a descriptive title.
* **Do** include reproduction steps, stack traces, and anything else that might help us verify and fix your bug.
* **Do** include reproduction steps, stack traces, and anything that might help us fix your bug.
* **Don't** file duplicate reports; search for your bug before filing a new report.
