Each exploiter class inherits from the [`HostExploiter`](https://github.com/guardicore/monkey/blob/develop/monkey/infection_monkey/exploit/HostExploiter.py) class, which exposes two interface functions: * `is_os_supported` - Returns a boolean value denoting whether the victim machine is supported by the exploiter (for example, returns `False` on Windows victim machines for the `SSHExploiter`). This can be used to thoroughly inspect a potential victim machine and decide whether to attempt the exploit on that particular machine (for example, by checking for open services matching specific versions). -* `exploit_host` - Exploits the host and returns a boolean value indicating whether the exploit was successful or not. +* `exploit_host` - Exploits the host and returns a boolean value indicating whether or not the exploit was successful. #### Adding a new exploiter -In the [Infection Monkey's exploit directory](https://github.com/guardicore/monkey/tree/develop/monkey/infection_monkey/exploit), add the **exploit's logic** by defining a new class inheriting [`HostExploiter`](https://github.com/guardicore/monkey/blob/develop/monkey/infection_monkey/exploit/HostExploiter.py), or if your new exploit is a web RCE (remote code execution) exploit, inheriting [`WebRCE`](https://github.com/guardicore/monkey/blob/develop/monkey/infection_monkey/exploit/web_rce.py). +In the [Infection Monkey's exploit directory](https://github.com/guardicore/monkey/tree/develop/monkey/infection_monkey/exploit), add the **exploit's logic** by defining a new class that inherits from [`HostExploiter`](https://github.com/guardicore/monkey/blob/develop/monkey/infection_monkey/exploit/HostExploiter.py).
