So far, we have seen methods for pivoting in scenarios in which the machines are in the same subnet and are reachable. However, during a RedTeam activity, we may come across a network which has different subnets that we know exist but are not reachable by the system we have a Meterpreter shell on. In this section, we will look at an example of how to pivot to those networks.
The Windows system has a command-line tool that makes it possible to view the routing table. This tool is called route. The routing table consists of destinations, routes, and next hops. These entries define a route to a destination network.
To view a routing table of the system, we have to do the following:
- Right-click on the host and go to Meterpreter | Interact | Command Shell, as shown in the following screenshot:
This will open a CMD of our host. We will then run the route print...
