Searching exploit modules in Metasploit
Quoted from HD Moore from Metasploit framework mailing list: The still-not-documented-keyword-system is much more flexible (and slower), but takes the following options: name Search within the module's descriptive name name:Microsoft path Search within the module's path name path:windows/smb platform Search for modules affecting this platform/target platform:linux type Search for modules that are of a specific type (exploit, auxiliary, or post) type:exploit app Search for modules that are either client or server attacks app:client author Search for modules written by author author:hdm cve Search for modules with a matching CVE ID cve:2009 bid Search for modules with a matching Bugtraq ID bid:10078 osvdb Search for modules with a matching OSVDB ID osvdb:875 Simple search by BID: And another using PLATFORM directive: It may be not that perfect yet: but it works! : A very big kudos to HDM :) //alak
