#session_compatible?(sess_or_sid) ⇒ Boolean

Note:

Because it errs on the side of compatibility, a true return value from this method does not guarantee the module will work with the session. For example, ARCH_CMD modules can work on a variety of platforms and archs and thus return true in this check.

Return false if the given session is not compatible with this module

Checks the session’s type against this module’s module_info["SessionTypes"] as well as examining platform and arch compatibility.

sess_or_sid can be a Session object, Integer, or String. In the latter cases it should be a key in framework.sessions.

Parameters:

  • sess_or_sid (Msf::Session, Integer, String) —

    A session or session ID to compare against this module for compatibility.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
