Plugin development is really simple.

All the plugins are in:

$faraday/plugins/repo/[pluginname]

In the following example you can see plugin of command ping:

    from plugins import core
    from model import api
    import re
    class CmdPingPlugin(core.PluginBase):
        """
        This plugin handles ping command.
        Basically detects if user was able to connect to a device
        """
        def __init__(self):
            core.PluginBase.__init__(self)
            self.id              = "ping"
            self.name            = "Ping"
            self.plugin_version         = "0.0.1"
            self.version  = "1.0.0"
            self._command_regex  = re.compile(r'^(sudo ping|ping|sudo ping6|ping6).*?')
            self._completition = {
                                "":"[-LRUbdfnqrvVaAB]  [-c  count]  [-m  mark]  [-i interval] ...",
                                    "-a":"Audible ping.",
                                    #...
                                  }
    
        def parseOutputString(self, output, debug = False):
            """
            This method will be called when the command finished executing and
            the complete output will be received to work with it
            Using the output the plugin can create and add hosts, interfaces, services, etc.
            """
            reg=re.search(r"PING ([\w\.-:]+)( |)\(([\w\.:]+)\)", output)
            if re.search("0 received|unknown host",output) is None and reg is not None:
    
                ip_address = reg.group(3)
                hostname=reg.group(1)
                h_id = self.createAndAddHost(ip_address)
                i_id = self.createAndAddInterface(h_id, ip_address, ipv4_address=ip_address, hostname_resolution=[hostname])
    
            return True
    
        def processCommandString(self, username, current_path, command_string):
            """
            With this method a plugin can add aditional arguments to the command that
            it's going to be executed.
            """
            return None
    
    def createPlugin():
    return CmdPingPlugin()

In this plugin if the host is active we add it to the database

Key information:

self._command_regex

a regex used to match the command string and determine if the plugin is suitable to handle it

self._completition

This have the dict used for intellisense

def parseOutputString(self, output, debug = False):

This method will be called when the command finished executing and the complete output will be received to work with it
Using the output the plugin can create and add hosts, interfaces, services, vuln, webvuln, credentials, notes.

def processCommandString(self, username, current_path, command_string):

With this method a plugin can add additional arguments to the command that it's going to be executed.

    createAndAddHost(self, name, os = "unknown", category = None, update = False, old_hostname = None):

This method we create and add a host to the database

    createAndAddInterface(self, host_id, name = "", mac = "00:00:00:00:00:00",
                 ipv4_address = "0.0.0.0", ipv4_mask = "0.0.0.0",
                 ipv4_gateway = "0.0.0.0", ipv4_dns = [],
                 ipv6_address = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000", ipv6_prefix = "00",
                 ipv6_gateway = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000", ipv6_dns = [],
                 network_segment = "", hostname_resolution = []):

This method we create and add a interface to host

core.PluginBase

The complete list of methods in the PluginBase are:

    def createAndAddServiceToInterface(self, host_id, interface_id, name, protocol = "tcp?", 
                ports = [], status = "running", version = "unknown", description = ""):
