Metasploit::Credential

Versioning

Metasploit::Credential is versioned using semantic versioning 2.0. Each branch should set Metasploit::Credential::Version::PRERELEASE to the branch name, while master should have no PRERELEASE and the PRERELEASE section of Metasploit::Credential::VERSION does not exist.

Documentation

Metasploit::Credential is documented using YARD. For each ActiveRecord::Base descendant, it uses RailsERD to generate an Entity-Relationship Diagram of all classes to which the descendant has a belongs_to relationship either directly or indirectly.

Database Setup

RailsERD requires access to the database to walk the ActiveRecord::Base associations, so setup the database.yml, create the database, and run the migrations:

cp spec/dummy/config/database.yml.example spec/dummy/config/database.yml
# fill in passwords
edit spec/dummy/config/database.yml
rake db:create db:migrate

Graphviz Setup

In order to generate the diagrams as PNGs, graphviz is used. It will need to be installed using your OS's package manager.

OSX

`brew install graphviz`

Graphviz may have issues when used on OSX Mavericks or later. If rake yard hangs or you get 'CoreTest performance note' messages when running 'rake yard', you should reinstall graphviz as follows: brew reinstall graphviz --with-bindings --with-freetype --with-librsvg --with-pangocairo.

Generate

rake yard

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'metasploit-credential'

And then execute:

$ bundle

This gem's Rails::Engine is not required automatically. You'll need to also add the following to your config/application.rb:

require 'metasploit/credential/engine'

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install metasploit-credential

Net::SSH

Metasploit::Credential::SSHKey depends on 'net/ssh', but metasploit-credential does not declare the net-ssh gem as a runtime dependency because metasploit-framework includes its own version of 'net/ssh' which would conflict with the gem.

If you're not using metasploit-framework, then you need add the net-ssh to your Gemfile:

gem 'net-ssh'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install net-ssh
