-# Understanding Metasploit's Filesystem
-The file system of Metasploit can be a little confusing at times. The following is a guide that should help 
-to explain some of the common folders that you might use. Keep in mind that on Kali Linux your root install directory
-will likely be `/usr/share/metasploit-framework`. For Omnibus installers downloaded from https://downloads.metasploit.com/
-or a similar location, it will be `/opt/metasploit` on Linux devices, or `C:\metasploit-framework` or `D:\metasploit-framework`
-by default for Windows devices.
-
-The following are some of the most important folders. Note this isn't a complete list, but should help you get acquainted
-with the file system of Metasploit for most use cases.
-
-## app
-This directory contains ActiveRecord concerns, models and validators.

-Contains various files that help configure Metasploit. Most files here you'll never have to deal with, though 
-`database.yml.example` might be useful for those looking to configure their database, and `openssl.conf`

-`schema.rb` which describes current state of the database schema maintained by Rails ActiveRecord.
-
-## docker
-Contains files related to running Metasploit inside Docker.
-
-## docs
-This contains all the documentation files that are on https://docs.metasploit.com as well as the associated server files
-so that you can run a local copy of this site offline.
-
-## documentation
-This folder is primarily used to hold documentation for Metasploit's various modules, as well as the developers guide
-at `developers_guide.pdf`.
-
-## external
-This folder contains files to assist in using Metasploit with other tools such as `burp-proxy`, `vscode` and `zsh`.
-It also contains `serialport`, which is a Rapid7 fork of the original `ruby-serialport` project provided by
-RubyForge.org. Most importantly though, it contains the `source` directory, which contains source code for all
-compiled binaries in Metasploit Framework so that users can verify the code being used.
-
-## kubernetes
-Contains files related to deploying Metasploit in Kubernetes for Kubernetes testing, using a `meterpreter` helm chart.
-
-## lib
-This is where all of the libraries and mixins of Metasploit live. Generally speaking any code that will be reused
-across multiple modules will be placed into a library or mixin which will then be placed under this folder.
-
-## modules
-This is the folder where all of Metasploit's modules live. These modules are scripts in Ruby that interface with
-Metasploit itself to perform some specific task. There are various types of modules, such as `exploit` modules to
-exploit a vulnerability and gain a shell, `auxiliary` to perform a non-shell gaining activity, `payloads` for
-Metasploit's various payloads (which are also modules), and `post` for post exploitation modules.
-
-## plugins
-This is where plugins for Metasploit live, which allow Metasploit to interface with other tools and services.
-
-## script
-This contains the `rails.rb` file which will automatically be run when the command `rails` is run from
-the root of Metasploit itself, and allows Rails to populate its list of additional commands
-that are available for users to use.
-
-## scripts
-This folder contains all resource, shell, and Meterpreter scripts in Metasploit. Note that Metasploit no longer supports
-Meterpreter scripts, so the `meterpreter/` folder should be treated as deprecated and is likely to be removed in the 
-future.
-
-## spec
-All RSpec related unit test files reside under this directory.
-
-## test
-Contains files related to integration tests for things such as payload testing,
-modules used in sanity testing, as well as tests that can be exercised using
-https://github.com/rapid7/geppetto.
-
-## tools
-This folder contains standalone scripts that can help developers and users with various tasks, such as `msftidy.rb`
-which checks modules to make sure they conform to our linting rules, and `msftidy_docs.rb` which does the same for
-documentation files.
