Description

This module generates a valid wpad.dat file for WPAD mitm attacks. Usually this module is used in combination with DNS attacks or the 'NetBIOS Name Service Spoofer' module. Please remember as the server will be running by default on TCP port 80 you will need the required privileges to open that port.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
