Description

This module gathers information about a browser that exploits might be interested in, such as OS name, browser version, plugins, etc. By default, the module will return a fake 404, but you can customize this output by changing the Custom404 datastore option, and redirect to an external web page.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
