Description

This module uses the NiFi API to create an ExecuteProcess processor that will execute OS commands. The API must be unsecured (or credentials provided) and the ExecuteProcess processor must be available. An ExecuteProcessor processor is created then is configured with the payload and started. The processor is then stopped and deleted. Verified against 1.12.1, 1.12.1-RC2, and 1.20.0

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.
