Armitage makes post-exploitation as easy as clicking on a button. In order to execute post-exploitation modules, right-click on the exploited host and choose Meterpreter
as follows:
Choosing Meterpreter
will present all the post-exploitation modules in sections. If we want to elevate privileges or gain system-level access, we will navigate to the Access
sub-menu and click on the appropriate button depending upon our requirements.
The Interact
submenu will provide options for getting a command prompt, another meterpreter, and so on. The Explore
submenu will provide options such as Browse Files
, Show Processes
, Log Keystrokes
, Screenshot
, Webcam Shot
, and Post Modules
, which are used to launch other post-exploitation modules that are not present in this sub-menu. This is shown in the following screenshot:
Let's run a simple post-exploitation module by clicking on Browse Files
