Description

This module will inject a payload into memory of a process. If a payload isn't selected, then it'll default to a reverse x86 TCP meterpreter. If the PID datastore option isn't specified, then it'll inject into notepad.exe instead.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/windows/local/payload_inject
msf exploit(payload_inject) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(payload_inject) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(payload_inject) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(payload_inject) > exploit

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
