Description

suggestion-docs

We have several ways to incorporate 3rd party tools with Metasploit: generic payloads, custom payloads, and we should implement custom_exe and custom_dll payloads that are supported within exploits so someone can launch a custom payload that is position independent shellcode (pretty well universally supported), or dll/exe (partially supported).
What we don't have is a lot of documentation about how to use third party or custom payloads. It would be useful to have a document talking about what we do to support third party tools like sliver, mythic, or anything else.
