framework-base
The base library provides implementations for some of the default sessions, such as Shell, Meterpreter, DispatchNinja, and VNC. These sessions are used by modules that come pre-packaged with the default module distribution of Metasploit and are depended on by their respective payloads.
Beyond providing the default sessions, framework-base also provides a wrapper interface to framework-core that makes some of the tasks, such as exploitation, into easier to manage functions.
