Since Ruby 2.1, the respond_to? method is more strict because it does
not check protected methods. So when you use send(), clearly you're
ignoring this type of access control. The patch is meant to preserve
this behavior to avoid potential breakage.
Resolve#4507
response_timeout is a method specific to a meterpreter session, not
shell. So if the user is using a shell type payload, he will never
see a backtrace before interacting with the sessions.
MSP-11671
Add command line option --defer-module-loads to msfconsole. It will
stop `Msf::Ui::Console::Driver` from calling
`framework.modules.init_module_paths` AND
`framework.modules.refresh_cache_from_database`. This flag is only
meant to speed up msfconsole boot when modules do not need to accessed,
such as during cucumber testing of command help or command line options.
MSP-11672
Pass `'DeferModuleLoads' => false` to `Msf::Simple::Framework.create` so
that `framework.modules.init_module_paths` is only called once (directly
in `Msf::Ui::Console::Driver#initialize`) instead of twice (in
`Msf::Simple::Framework.create` and `Msf::Ui::Console::Driver#initialize).
Minor tweaks after the PR from @kernelsmith
Remaining items:
1. Handle empty session IDs correctly, for example 'sessions -d' or 'sessions -k'
2. Find a method of explaining the range options in the help text
3. Retest all changed code areas
4. Edit PR Summary to reflect changes to the scope
- Added check for un-detach-able sessions
- Added back the check for session.interactive? when detaching sessions
- Collapse build_jobs_array and build_sessions_array to build_range_array
- Added check for empty or invalid parameters to detach and kill [session | job]
- Reworked session id sanity check around line 1660
- RuboCop/Style guide change: Array.new -> []
- Misc RuboCop/Style guide spacing changes
MSP-11126
Fully-qualify `Msf::MODULE_TYPES`, `Msf::MODULE_ANY`,
Msf::MODULE_ENCODER`, `Msf::MODULE_EXPLOIT`, `Msf::MODULE_NOP`,
`Msf::MODULE_AUX`, `Msf::MODULE_PAYLOAD`, `Msf::MODULE_POST` so that
their usage isn't dependent on nested lexical scoping.
MSP-11152
Constant was unqualified in some of the reorganized Msf::DBManager code
because that code was take advantage of the old nested lexical scope
that included `Msf`.
Sometimes msfconsole takes a little while to start.
This adds a fairly common ASCII spinner to the startup sequence.
I haven't spec'ed it, and the code organization isn't great, so consider
this PR more of a cry for help than something immediately landable.
That said, it works for me.
