    Metasploit Framework

  • Looking at a similar question and following this [link](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/blob/b3c7fff32a62739241a223515574674b4a6b483c/lib/net/ssh/transport/algorithms.rb) I can see that one of the protocols (`aes256-cbc`) offered by the server, should be supported by the Metasploit SSH client. However, it doesn't offer it. Is there any setting I can change in Metasploit to make it offer `aes256-cbc` to the vulnerable SSH server?
