Active Metasploit 5 development will sometimes push aggressive changes.
|
||||||
|
Integrations with 3rd-party tools, as well as general usage, may change quickly
|
||||||
|
from day to day. Some of the steps for dealing with major changes will be
|
||||||
|
documented here. We will continue to maintain the Metasploit 4.x branch until
|
||||||
|
Metasploit 5.0 is released.

**2018/01/17 - [internal] module cache reworked to not store metadata in PostgreSQL**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Metasploit no longer stores module metadata in a PostgreSQL database, instead
|
||||||
|
storing it in a cache file in your local ~/.msf4 config directory. This has a
|
||||||
|
number of advantages:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Fast searches whether you have the database enabled or not (no more slow search mode)
|
||||||
|
* Faster load time for msfconsole, the cache loads more quickly
|
||||||
|
* Private module data is not uploaded to a shared database, no collisions
|
||||||
|
* Adding or deleting modules no longer displays file-not-found error messages on start in msfconsole
|
||||||
|
* Reduced memory consumption
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Code that reads directly from the Metasploit database for module data will need
|
||||||
|
to use the new module search API.
