As I said in the question header, how can I read or access the source codes of exploits in Metasploit on Kali?

Note: Please, don't say "did you look under ~/.msf4". Because there is no anything except empty folders.

In msfconsole:

use exploit/linux/ftp/proftp_sreplace
edit

or search for the appropriate module in /usr/share/metasploit-framework/ or wherever you installed metasploit.

I'm pretty sure ~/.msf4 should only mainly contain user custom settings, as it usually is for hidden folders under the Linux user home directory.

The framework files are in the following folder:

    /usr/share/metasploit-framework/

I don't know which version you're using, just type this to find it:

    cd /usr/share/metasploit*

  • Also installation folder of metasploit can vary from systems to systems or metasploit versions to its versions. So we can use the following command in terminal to find metasploit framework installation folder: find / -name "metasploit" -print – Hasan Oct 25 '18 at 12:19
