In this section, we will explore post-exploitation with Metasploit, focusing on the main features of Meterpreter and the use of shells outside of Metasploit. Post-exploitation refers to the actions taken after gaining unauthorized access to a system. The goal is to maintain control, gather valuable information, and, in some cases, pivot to other systems within the network. Meterpreter is a powerful post-exploitation tool included in Metasploit. It provides advanced features and functionalities that facilitate information gathering, privilege escalation, maintaining access, and more. Meterpreter runs in memory, making it difficult to detect by antivirus software.
