msfconsole to start it

Searches for the term in the exploits
use <exploit_path>
Selects the exploit to use (or use the number after a search)
show options
Shows the selected exploit's options
set <variable> <value>
Sets the option's value
check

exploit
Runs the exploit
multi/handler to catch shells from msfvenom
windows/smb/ms17_010_psexec EternalBlue (scan with auxiliary/scanner/smb/smb_ms17_010)
post/multi/recon/local_exploit_suggester After successful shell, suggests possible exploits
multi/manage/shell_to_meterpreter Upgrade generic shell to meterpreter, more
For example, find it from searchsploit:
the script has a but it's not included by default so we have to import it
The critical folders are also symlinked in our home and root folders in the hidden ~/.msf4/ location.
The table below contains the most common payloads used for Windows machines and their respective descriptions.

Flags to add encoding for msfvenom
-b for bad bytes
-e encoding
For msfconsole:
If we were to encode an executable payload only once with SGN, it would most likely be detected by most antiviruses today. Let's delve into that for a moment.
Iterating encoders: -i 10
Metasploit supports PostgreSQL by default.
Check status:
Configure if not already present:
You can import XML (preferably) nmap outputs:
Or scan directly from inside msfconsole:
See saved target hosts:
See discovered services:
After finishing the session, make sure to back up our data if anything happens with the PostgreSQL service. To do so, use the db_export command.
The loot command works in conjunction with the command above to offer you an at-a-glance list of owned services and users. The loot, in this case, refers to hash dumps from different system types, namely hashes, passwd, shadow, and more.

Loading plugins (example with nessus):
Afterward, launch msfconsole and check the plugin's installation by running the load command. After the plugin has been loaded, the help menu at the msfconsole is automatically extended by additional functions.
Many people write many different plugins for the Metasploit framework. They all have a specific purpose and can be an excellent help to save time after familiarizing ourselves with them. Check out the list of popular plugins below:
To change out of the current meterpreter (or other stages) session use:

Switch to session ID with:
post modules often require to specify a session in the options
If, for example, we are running an active exploit under a specific port and need this port for a different module, we cannot simply terminate the session using [CTRL] + [C]. If we did that, we would see that the port would still be in use, affecting our use of the new module. So instead, we would need to use the jobs command to look at the currently active tasks running in the background and terminate the old ones to free up the port.
When we run an exploit, we can run it as a job by typing exploit -j. Per the help menu for the exploit command, adding -j to our command. Instead of just exploit or run, will "run it in the context of a job."
Listing running jobs:
Use the jobs -K command to kill all running jobs. or kill [index no.] to kill a specific one

Shikata Ga Nai (SGN) is one of the most utilized Encoding schemes today because it is so hard to detect that payloads encoded through its mechanism are not universally undetectable anymore. Far from it. The name (ไปๆนใใชใ) means It cannot be helped or Nothing can be done about it, and rightfully so if we were reading this a few years ago. However, there are other methodologies we will explore to evade protection systems. details the why and the how of Shikata Ga Nai's previous rule over the other encoders.
