Module Ranking and Traits

---

Module Ranking:

• normal: The exploit is otherwise reliable, but depends on a specific version and can't (or doesn't) reliably autodetect. More information about ranking can be found here.

Reliability:

• repeatable-session: The module is expected to get a shell every time it runs.

Stability:

• os-resource-loss: Modules may cause a resource (such as a file) to be unavailable for the OS.

Side Effects:

• artifacts-on-disk: Modules leaves a payload or a dropper on the target machine.
• ioc-in-logs: Module leaves signs of a compromise in a log file (Example: SQL injection data found in HTTP log).
