Metasploit - Lesson 2 - Payloads - shell_reverse_tcp

The foundation of hacking, obtaining access to your slave.

Todays lesson will be covering the payload 'shell_reverse_tcp' a basic but very powerful payload.

Alright lets get started!

Lets start off with configuring the payload.

Then insert the host(your ip) and port(must be forwarded)

Now to generate a exe that you can spread and use to gain access to peoples computers.


Good job, you've configured your payload! Now to listen in and exploit there computer.

Open a new terminal and start up Metasploit 'msfconsole'

Then startup the exploit handler.

Now tell the handler to look out for your reverse shell.

You're almost done, now to tell the handler to listen in for connections.

All that's left to do is run your script and wait for someone to run your exploit.

When you get someone, there command prompt will appear in the terminal and from there you can do ANYTHING, enable remote desktop, upload keylogger scripts, format there c:\ drive, anything...
