44CON LONDON 2015

The last couple of years have seen Meterpreter move forward leaps and bounds when it comes to new features and stability. Metasploit users worldwide continue to make use of it for its core feature set that is already well known, but are yet to benefit from the new features that are starting to make it a more compelling tool for red team engagements.

The goal of this talk will be to bring people up to speed on how Meterpreter has changed, evolved and become what it is in 2015. Old features will be covered, and new features will be discussed in depth, with a focus on how those new features can be used to help red teamers establish and maintain a stronger foothold in their target's network.

This presentation will not only discuss the features at a high level, but will also dive deeper into some of the more technical details around the new and more interesting features, including stageless payloads, transport modification, paranoid mode, and persistence. It will also cover some of the common pitfalls that cause shells to fail, and how to avoid them.

It may even cover a sneak peak of what's to come further down the track!
