Executables

An executable is a portable file that delivers the embedded generic multi-handler payload to a victim’s machine. The payload creates a reverse connection over HTTPS from the victim’s machine to the multi-handler listener that is running from a campaign. When the multi-handler listener receives the incoming connection, it delivers the remaining payload to the victim’s machine.
After a connection has been established between the two machines, you can take control of the session to gain further access into the network or to gather information from victim’s machine. For more information on how to interact with sessions, go to Session Tasks.
To set up the handler, you need to specify the listener port, or LPORT. Metasploit Pro uses the LPORT that you assign and the local Metasploit instance as the callback IP address to configure the handler.
