RPORT The target port (default: 80)
VHOST HTTP server virtual host
BasicAuthPass The HTTP password to specify for basic authentication
BasicAuthUser The HTTP username to specify for basic authentication
CHOST The local client address
CPORT The local client port
ConnectTimeout Maximum number of seconds to establish a TCP connection
ContextInformationFile The information file that contains context information
DOMAIN The domain to use for windows authentification
DigestAuthIIS Conform to IIS, should work for most servers. Only set to false for non-IIS servers
DigestAuthPassword The HTTP password to specify for digest authentication
DigestAuthUser The HTTP username to specify for digest authentication

EnableContextEncoding Use transient context when encoding payloads
FingerprintCheck Conduct a pre-exploit fingerprint verification
NTLM::SendLM Always send the LANMAN response (except when NTLMv2_session is specified)
NTLM::SendNTLM Activate the 'Negotiate NTLM key' flag, indicating the use of NTLM responses
NTLM::SendSPN Send an avp of type SPN in the ntlmv2 client Blob, this allow authentification on windows Seven/2008r2 when SPN is required
NTLM::UseLMKey Activate the 'Negotiate Lan Manager Key' flag, using the LM key when the LM response is sent
NTLM::UseNTLM2_session Activate the 'Negotiate NTLM2 key' flag, forcing the use of a NTLMv2_session
