Mastering Metasploit - Third Edition

By: Nipun Jaswal

Overview of this book

We start by reminding you about the basic functionalities of Metasploit and its use in the most traditional ways. You’ll get to know about the basics of programming Metasploit modules as a refresher and then dive into carrying out exploitation as well building and porting exploits of various kinds in Metasploit. In the next section, you’ll develop the ability to perform testing on various services such as databases, Cloud environment, IoT, mobile, tablets, and similar more services. After this training, we jump into real-world sophisticated scenarios where performing penetration tests are a challenge. With real-life case studies, we take you on a journey through client-side attacks using Metasploit and various scripts built on the Metasploit framework. By the end of the book, you will be trained specifically on time-saving techniques using Metasploit.

Running commands on multiple Meterpreters

Yup! We can run Meterpreter commands on numerous open Meterpreter sessions using the -c switch with the sessions command, as shown in the following screenshot:

We can see that Metasploit has intelligently skipped a non-Meterpreter session, and we have made the command run on all the Meterpreter sessions, as shown in the preceding screenshot.
