Description
The RouterSploit Framework is an open-source exploitation framework dedicated to embedded devices.
It consists of various modules that aid penetration testing operations:
- exploits - modules that take advantage of identified vulnerabilities
- creds - modules designed to test credentials against network services
- scanners - modules that check if a target is vulnerable to any exploit
- payloads - modules that are responsible for generating payloads for various architectures and injection points
- generic - modules that perform generic attacks

Build your own
To our surprise, people started to fork routersploit not because they were interested in the security of embedded devices but simply because they want to leverage our interactive shell logic and build their tools using similar concept. All these years they must have said: "There must be a better way!" and they were completely right, the better way is called Riposte.
Riposte allows you to easily wrap your application inside a tailored interactive shell. Common chores regarding building REPLs was factored out and being taken care of so you can focus on specific domain logic of your application.
