‫Metasploit has a wide array of post exploitation modules that can be run on compromised targets to gather
‫evidence, pivot deeper into a target network, and so much more.
‫The modules are grouped under several groups.
‫The escalate group includes modules that are used to escalate privilege and bypass the restrictions.
‫The GATHER group has the biggest number of modules.
‫These modules are used to gather information from the compromised system and manage modules, change
‫the configuration of the victim system.
‫So let's see the modules first and then we'll run a few of them as examples.
‫Okay, so now I have an MSN console and Colley now.
‫Post modules are grouped by the operating systems.
‫So let's search for the post modules for Windows first.
‫Now there are a lot of post modules for Windows systems and the module groups are w LAN recon manage.
‫Gather.
‫Escalate and capture.
‫Now search for the Linux post modules.
‫The Linux specific post modules are not as many as Windows specific post modules, but still it's not
‫bad at all.
‫It gives you something to do anyway.
‫The next search is for the post modules of OS X.
‫And here are the US specific post modules in groups.
‫Capture, gather and manage.
