Distribute Responder Customizations

Once you've developed a customization, it may be distributed by an administrator to other users. All customizations should be added to a custom layout file (e.g., Responder.Explorer.custom.layout, Responder.ArchiveExplorer.custom.layout). You may create a single custom layout file or multiple files. However every custom layout file MUST have a file name that ends with ".custom.layout" (e.g., Responder.custom.layout).

Once your custom layout file(s) are created, you may place them in one of the following locations depending on how you want to implement the tools.

Responder\Client\Addons\Miner.Responder.Explorer: The elements in custom layout files placed in this directory are available only in Responder Explorer. You may have to create this directory if it doesn't exist.
Responder\Client\Addons\Miner.Responder.ArchiveExplorer: The elements in custom layout files placed in this directory are available only in Archive Explorer. You may have to create this directory if it doesn't exist.

Add customizations to a custom layout file and distribute this file to users along with the .dll containing the customization. If you elect to store customizations in multiple custom layout files, you will need to distribute multiple files to users. These custom layout files must be stored in one of the directories discussed above.

It is wise to retain back-up copies of all custom layout files. You may append future customizations to a single custom layout file.
