1
+ Active Metasploit 5 development will sometimes push aggressive changes.
2
+ Integrations with 3rd-party tools, as well as general usage, may change quickly
3
+ from day to day. Some of the steps for dealing with major changes will be
4
+ documented here. We will continue to maintain the Metasploit 4.x branch until
5
+ Metasploit 5.0 is released.

+ ** 2018/01/17 - [ internal] module cache reworked to not store metadata in PostgreSQL**
8
+
9
+ Metasploit no longer stores module metadata in a PostgreSQL database, instead
10
+ storing it in a cache file in your local ~ /.msf4 config directory. This has a
11
+ number of advantages:
12
+
13
+ * Fast searches whether you have the database enabled or not (no more slow search mode)
14
+ * Faster load time for msfconsole, the cache loads more quickly
15
+ * Private module data is not uploaded to a shared database, no collisions
16
+ * Adding or deleting modules no longer displays file-not-found error messages on start in msfconsole
17
+ * Reduced memory consumption
18
+
19
+ Code that reads directly from the Metasploit database for module data will need
20
+ to use the new module search API.
You can’t perform that action at this time.
