Payloads confusion

[msairam at intoto.com (M P Sairam)]

Depending on the Exploit Category and Target Type the payload is choosen 
from the generic/shell_bind_tcp or generic/shell_reverse_tcp .

For Example:
        For a Windows based SMB Exploit, the target is an Windows XP on 
x86 arch, when you select payload as  generic/shell_bind_tcp it 
automatically selects windows/shell_bind_tcp.

       Similarly, for a solaris based samba exploit if you choose target 
as solaris on ppc architecture, and you selected payload as 
generic/shell_bind_tcp then it will load the payload as 
solaris/ppc/shell_bind_tcp. For the same Exploit if you choose target as 
solaris on x86 architecture, then the same payload will load 
solaris/x86/shell_bind_tcp.
