Integration with other tools

The target structure just doesn't include that kind of information. Adding 
support for those fields would be easy, but updating 200-odd modules 
would be a challenge. One thing to keep in mind is that many targets also 
depend on variables other than the OS and service pack level. For 
example, the native language of the target affects what return addresses 
should be used. Some targets provide alternative exploit methods as well, 
for example the MS06-040 flaw can be exploited at least three different 
ways and we support each of them through different targets.

If youre looking for a quick way to cross-reference hosts with modules, 
your best bet is using the CVE and BID references. Once you have a match, 
determine whether the exploit has a default target set, if so, it should 
generally safe to use without knowing the OS or service pack.
