Check Availabilities In Metasploit
After opening msfconsole, metasploit provides a great database of all kinds of exploits. For example, you can use the command search type: exploit platform: Unix to search exploits for Unix systems.
You’ll get a large list of potential exploits to attack your target. And commands such as those given below can be used directly in the console.
use exploit/unix/local/chkrootkit
There are many payloads that are available in Metasploit, so it might be overwhelming to figure out which payloads you can use for specific exploits. Luckily, you can easily view the payloads that are supported for an exploit.
After you choose an exploit, you can run the following command to view the payloads that are available:
show payloads
Metasploit – Payload
There are currently 592 payload modules in the latest Metasploit Framework release. Before moving forward let’s begin with what is payload and basics of payload, Payload is a code that will be executed on the system and decides what to do after launching our exploit.
