Metasploit Revealed: Secrets of the Expert Pentester

Working with interfaces

Cortana also provides a flexible approach while working with interfaces. Cortana provides options and functions to create shortcuts, tables, switching tabs, and various other operations. Suppose we want to add a custom functionality, such as when we press the F1 key from the keyboard, Cortana displays the UID of the target host. Let's see an example of a script that will enable us to achieve this feature:

bind F1 { 
$sid ="3"; 
spawn(&gu, \$sid);   
}  
sub gu{   
m_cmd($sid,"getuid"); 
on meterpreter_getuid { 
show_message( " $3 "); 
} 
} 

The preceding script will add a shortcut key, F1, that will display the UID of the target system when pressed. The bind keyword in the script denotes binding of functionality with the F1 key. ...
