Documentation
Several forms of documentation are available for the Metasploit Framework – including traditional guides, like user and developer guides, and more informal help like the Metasploit Wiki. The documentation was developed with the help of the Metasploit community and continues to evolve alongside the Metasploit Framework.
If you discover missing content or you think something can be explained better, you can help us out by contributing to our documentation. Please see how you can contribute.
