The Meterpreter shell is the most desired type of access an attacker would like to have on the target. Meterpreter gives the attacker a broad set of tools to perform a variety of tasks on the compromised system. Meterpreter has many built-in scripts, which makes it easier for an attacker to attack the system. These scripts perform tedious and straightforward tasks on the compromised system. In this section, we will look at those scripts, what they are made of, and how we can leverage them in Meterpreter.
