On August 15, shuckins-r7 merged the Metasploit 4.10.0 branch
(staging/electro-release) into master. Rather than merging with
history, he squashed all history into two commits (see
149c3ecc63 and
82760bf5b3).
We want to preserve history (for things like git blame, git log, etc.).
So on August 22, we reverted the commits above (see
19ba7772f3).
This merge commit merges the staging/electro-release branch
(62b81d6814) into master
(48f0743d1b). It ensures that any changes
committed to master since the original squashed merge are retained.
As a side effect, you may see this merge commit in history/blame for the
time period between August 15 and August 22.
This fixes a huge number of hard-to-detect runtime bugs
that occur when a default utf-8 string from one of these
libraries is passed into a method expecting ascii-8bit

`Metasplot::Framework::Require.optionally` can be used to optionally
require a library and then issue a warning if the require fails or run a
block when it succeeds.
refactor the Hashdump post module for window
to use the new cred creation methods.
Also some extra methods to do db safe checks
for record ids that we need
Previously the status message timing was determined by the number of
pairs left to process. I have adjusted the code to rely on Time.now
in order to consistently print a message out every 60 seconds.
This commit removes the creation of a separate, timed
thread for printing out status messages to the user
in the case of large PASS_FILEs. This adjustment eliminates
the overheard of context switching associated with
spinning off separate threads, as well as the dangers
associated with the Thread#kill method.
SeeRM #8704
When running a *_login module that contains a large PASS_FILE
the module appears to hang while it is creating the combinations over
such a large dataset. The solution proposed in the Redmine task
requested that the user be alerted with some sort of progress feedback
if the process takes an excessive amount of time.
I have added a message that logs to the console that contains the
number of pairs left to be constructed before the module will continue.
The verbiage is fairly arbitrary and should probably be updated to
something that might be more descriptive. Likewise, the sleep
interval may need to be adjusted.
John cares not one whit how many colons are in a hash line, only that
there are enough for the format (at least 2 for regular /etc/passwd, at
least 3 for NTLM, etc). So there is no simple way to programmatically
determine whether a password had a colon or there was just an extra on
the end of the original hash line.
