Meterpreter Basic Commands

Help

The 'help' command, as may be expected, displays the Meterpreter help menu.

PS

The 'ps' command displays a list of running processes on the target.

LS

As in Linux, the 'ls' command will list the files in the current remote directory.

Ipconfig

The 'ipconfig' command displays the network interfaces and addresses on the remote machine.

Getuid

Running 'getuid' will display the user that the Meterpreter server is running as on the host.

Download

The 'download' command downloads a file from the remote machine. Note the use of the double-slashes when giving the Windows path.

Upload

As with the 'download' command, you need to use double-slashes with the 'upload' command.

Shell

The 'shell' command will present you with a standard shell on the target system.
