The document discusses using Meterpreter for post exploitation activities after gaining access to a target system. Meterpreter provides an advanced multi-function payload that injects itself into running processes to provide core and advanced command functionality through extensions in a more stealthy way than normal payloads. The document outlines how Meterpreter works and can be used for activities like enumeration, privilege escalation, information harvesting, and pivoting across a network during post exploitation.

4. Meterpreter
Meterpreter
– Advance Multi Function payload.
– Provides core complex and advanced features.
– Injects itself into running process.
– Meterpreter = Meta Interpreter, interprets commands from
one machine to another.

5. Meterpreter
Meterpreter .. Why?
– Normal Payloads :
– Creates a new Process at the target machine.
– Don’t work in chroot’d environments.
– Limited to commands available on the shell only.
– Meterpreter:
– Everything goes into memory, No I/O operations to HDD, hence less
detectable.
– Works in chroot’d environment [works in context of exploited process].
– Different extensions can be loaded on the fly during post exploitation.
– Plus Meterpreter Scripting

6. Meterpreter .. Why?
A handler is fired.
Remote Machine Enumeration
Vulnerability is triggered.
Payload delivered, using DLL
injection
Payload reverts Back, pwning a
shell

7. Command Classification

8. Post Exploitation
• Enumeration of Machine
• Screenshots, keyloggers, VNC, etc.
• Privilege Escalation
• Back-dooring
• Session Up gradation
• Information Harvesting
• Pivoting

9. Pivoting : The Network we will Follow

10. Conclusion
• Ideal stealth vector for process injection.
• Can be a nice tool to integrate with future
exploits.
• Meterpreter scripting will definitely give an
aid.
• Expectations never ends 
