In today's article, I'll show you how to use MSFVenom. You will learn how to create a Payload in MSFVenom. Also, I will give a list of all MSFVenom commands.
Back in 2015, it replaced the MSFPayload and MSFEncode tools.
What is MSFVenom.
Help has been added to the new version of MSFVenom. To display help type:

To find out what payloads are available, enter the command:
msf5> msfvenom -l payloads

# msfvenom -l payloads

The following command will create a malicious executable file (reverse shell), after which it will open a Meterpreter session.

Creating a malicious MSFVenom file.
We have created a payload, now we move on to the next step. Run msfconsole and enter the commands:
msf> use exploit / multi / handler
You must enter the same data (IP address and port) that were used to create the reverse shell.
With this operation, we allow to accept the connection from the previously created reverse shell, which will be launched by the victim.
Msfvenom instruction.
After creating a malicious file, you need to send it to the victim. You can use social engineering techniques or any other method of delivering a malicious file.
After launching the created file, the Meterpreter session will open:
Meterpreter session.
Congratulations, you have access to your computer.

We've created a payload for Windows, but we can create a payload for any other operating system, for example: Android, iOS, Liniux, etc. MSFVenom does it all.
That's all. Now you know how to use MSFVenom.
What is MSFVenom
MSFVenom is a free tool to create a payload (malicious file). It is, so to speak, a cousin of Metasploit. With it, you can create various payloads, shellcode and reverse shells.Back in 2015, it replaced the MSFPayload and MSFEncode tools.

How to use MSFVenom
Reverse TCP (reverse connection, reverse shell, payload) - the scheme of interaction with the target computer. In simple terms. We create a malicious file (payload), after which the target computer will try to connect to our computer. This is called "backconnect" or, in our case, a reverse shell, because "backconnect" is an extensible concept.To find out what payloads are available, enter the command:
msf5> msfvenom -l payloads
List of MSFVenom Commands
Or like this:# msfvenom -l payloads
List of MSFVenom Payloads.
The following command will create a malicious executable file (reverse shell), after which it will open a Meterpreter session.
- LHOST - The IP address of your computer (attacker).
- LPORT - the port of your computer that is assigned to the server or program.
- P - short for "payload", payload for the selected platform.
- F Is a parameter that sets the file type, for example, exe for Windows.
