Using Meterpreter Commands
Since the Meterpreter provides a whole new environment, we will cover some of the basic Meterpreter commands to get you started and help familiarize you with this most powerful tool. Throughout this course, almost every availableMeterpreter command is covered. For those that aren’t covered, experimentation is the key to successful learning.
help
The ‘help‘ command, as may be expected, displays the Meterpreter help menu.
meterpreter > help Core Commands ============= Command Description ------- ----------- ? Help menu background Backgrounds the current session channel Displays information about active channels ...snip...
background
The ‘background‘ command will send the current Meterpreter session to the background and return you to the msf prompt. To get back to your Meterpreter session, just interact with it again.
meterpreter > background msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > sessions -i 1 [*] Starting interaction with 1... meterpreter >
cat
The ‘cat‘ command is identical to the command found on *nix systems. It displays the content of a file when it’s given as an argument.
meterpreter > cat Usage: cat file Example usage: meterpreter > cat edit.txt What you talkin' about Willis meterpreter >
cd > pwd
The ‘cd‘ > ‘pwd‘ commands are used to change and display current working directly on the target host.
The change directory “cd” works the same way as it does under DOS and *nix systems.
By default, the current working folder is where the connection to your listener was initiated.

edit
The ‘edit‘ command opens a file located on the target host.
It uses the ‘vim’ so all the editor’s commands are available.

resource
The ‘resource‘ command will execute Meterpreter instructions located inside a text file. Containing one entry per line, “resource” will execute each line in sequence. This can help automate repetitive actions performed by a user.
