# Metasploit

To do a ping sweep post exploitation:

```
meterpreter > run post/multi/gather/ping_sweep RHOSTS=172.16.5.0/23
```

Manually

{% code title="Linux" %}

```bash
for i in {1..254} ;do (ping -c 1 172.16.5.$i | grep "bytes from" &) ;done
```

{% endcode %}

{% code title="CMD" %}

```
for /L %i in (1 1 254) do ping 172.16.5.%i -n 1 -w 100 | find "Reply"
```

{% endcode %}

{% code title="Powershell" %}

```powershell
1..254 | % {"172.16.5.$($_): $(Test-Connection -count 1 -comp 172.15.5.$($_) -quiet)"}
```

{% endcode %}

## Proxy

Suppose wanna use a pivot host to access one more machine use this technique to get all meterpreter goodies:

{% code title="/etc/proxychains.conf socks4 127.0.0.1 9050" %}

```
msf6 > use auxiliary/server/socks_proxy
msf6 auxiliary(server/socks_proxy) > set SRVPORT 9050
SRVPORT => 9050
msf6 auxiliary(server/socks_proxy) > set SRVHOST 0.0.0.0
SRVHOST => 0.0.0.0
msf6 auxiliary(server/socks_proxy) > set version 4a
version => 4a
msf6 auxiliary(server/socks_proxy) > run
```

{% endcode %}

Then to route all traffic through meterpreter

```shell-session
msf6 > use post/multi/manage/autoroute
msf6 post(multi/manage/autoroute) > set SESSION 1
SESSION => 1
msf6 post(multi/manage/autoroute) > set SUBNET 172.16.5.0
SUBNET => 172.16.5.0
msf6 post(multi/manage/autoroute) > run
```

Can also be run directly in the meterpreter session:

```shell-session
meterpreter > run autoroute -s 172.16.5.0/23
```

\
Port Forwarding
---------------

```shell-session
meterpreter > help portfwd
```

```shell-session
meterpreter > portfwd add -l 3300 -p 3389 -r 172.16.5.19
```

The above command requests the Meterpreter session to start a listener on our attack host's local port (`-l`) `3300` and forward all the packets to the remote (`-r`) Windows server `172.16.5.19` on `3389` port (`-p`) via our Meterpreter session'

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://aditya-3.gitbook.io/oscp/readme/m-metasploit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
