Overview

The module base class is responsible for providing the common interface that is used to interact with modules at the most basic levels, such as by inspecting a given module’s attributes (name, description, version, authors, etc) and by managing the module’s data store.

#fail_with(reason, msg = nil) ⇒ void

Note:

If you are writing an exploit, you don't use this API. Instead, please refer to the API documentation from lib/msf/core/exploit.rb.

This method returns an undefined value.

Raises a RuntimeError failure message. This is meant to be used for all non-exploits, and allows specific classes to override.

Examples:

fail_with('No Access', 'Unable to login')

Parameters:

  • reason (String) —

    A reason about the failure.

  • msg (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    (Optional) A message about the failure.

Raises:

  • (RuntimeError)
