# 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...
|
|
|
|
# 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].
|
|
|
|
## Code Contributions
|
|
|
|
* **Do** stick to the [Ruby style guide].
|
|
* **Do** get [Rubocop] relatively quiet against the code you are adding or modifying.
|
|
* **Do** follow the [50/72 rule] for Git commit messages.
|
|
* **Don't** use the default merge messages when merging from other branches.
|
|
* **Do** create a [topic branch] to work on instead of working directly on `master`.
|
|
|
|
### Pull Requests
|
|
|
|
* **Do** target your pull request to the **master branch**. Not staging, not develop, not release.
|
|
* **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.
|
|
* **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.
|
|
|
|
#### 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.
|
|
* **Don't** include more than one module per pull request.
|
|
|
|
#### 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.
|
|
|
|
#### Library Code
|
|
|
|
* **Do** write [RSpec] tests - even the smallest change in library land can thoroughly screw things up.
|
|
* **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.
|
|
|
|
#### 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.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
* **Don't** file duplicate reports; search for your bug before filing a new report.
|

If you need some more guidance, talk to the main body of open
|
|
source contributors over on the [Freenode IRC channel],
|
|
or e-mail us at the [metasploit-hackers] mailing list.

|
|
Also, **thank you** for taking the few moments to read this far! You're
|
|
already way ahead of the curve, so keep it up!
