MSFCONSOLE(1) Metasploit Framework Console MSFCONSOLE(1)NAMEmsfconsole - Metasploit Framework Console
SYNOPSISmsfconsole [options]
DESCRIPTION
Msfconsole is probably the most popular interface to the MSF. It pro‐
vides an "all-in-one" centralized console and allows you efficient
access to virtually all of the options available in the Metasploit
Framework. Msfconsole may seem intimidating at first, but once you
learn the syntax of the commands you will learn to appreciate the power
of utilizing this interface.

is set. Defaults to production if neither option not RAILS_ENV envi‐
ronment variable is set.
