Metasploit profiling tool

In Metasploit version 5.0.81, a new profiling tool has been added. By using this tool, IT users can analyze the usage of memory and CPU. If you want to use the profiling tool, you need to install the ruby-prof and ruby-memory-profiler tools. Otherwise, the following error message will appear when generating CPU or memory reports, respectively:

`require': cannot load such file-- ruby-prof (LoadError) # error prompt for generating CPU report

Cannot load such file-memory_profiler (LoadError) # error prompt for generating memory report

Install the ruby-prof tool. Execute the command as follows:

Apt-get install ruby-prof

Install the ruby-memory-profiler tool. Execute the command as follows:

Apt-get install ruby-memory-profiler

Users can then generate CPU and memory report files by setting the METASPLOIT_CPU_PROFILE and METASPLOIT_MEMORY_PROFILE environment variables. The implementation is as follows:

METASPLOIT_CPU_PROFILE=true msfconsole # generate CPU report

METASPLOIT_MEMORY_PROFILE=true msfconsole # generate memory report

When you exit Metasploit, you can generate a report file. By default, the generated report files are saved in the / tmp directory.
