What does the `show` command do in the Metasploit Framework?

### Why this is right The `show` command displays information, including available module types and module options. Its results depend on the current context: before selecting an exploit, `show payloads` can list payloads generally; after selection, it can show payloads compatible with that exploit. ### The concept Metasploit commands help a user navigate and configure the framework. The `show` command is informational. It does not itself run an exploit, patch a target, or end the console. The `help` command provides a limited list of commands, while `info` displays details about a selected module, such as its description, targets, and options. ### The other options - **B. Automatically patches every vulnerable target**: The command displays information; patch installation is a separate administrative action. - **C. Creates a session without running a module**: A session is a connection that may result from a successful exploit and payload, not from displaying information. - **D. Leaves the command console**: The course material identifies `exit` as the command for leaving `msfconsole`. ### Terms - **Context-sensitive**: Depending on the current selection or state, a command can show different information. - **Option**: A setting used to configure a module. - **Session**: A connection created after a successful exploit. ### Remember `show` displays information; it does not execute the action described by that information.
