Mastering Metasploit

Breakthrough meterpreter scripting

The meterpreter shell is the deadliest thing that a victim can hear if an attacker compromises their system. Meterpreter gives the attacker a much wider approach to perform a variety of tasks on the compromised system. In addition to this, meterpreter has many built-in scripts, which makes it easier for an attacker to attack the system. These scripts perform simple and tedious tasks on the compromised system. In this section, we will look at those scripts, what they are made of, and how we can leverage a script in meterpreter.
