Introduction
By now, you should already be familiar with MSFvenom, as we have used it a couple of times in previous recipes. MSFvenom is the tool to use for payload generation and encoding and it is an evolution of msfpayload
and msfencode
, which it replaced on June 8th, 2015.
In this chapter, we dig a bit deeper on the available payloads, learn why encoders can be useful when trying to evade detection, check the available executable, transform output formats, and much more.
