Extended post-exploitation with Metasploit
We have already covered a few of the post-exploitation modules in the previous chapters. However, here we will focus on the features that we did not cover. Throughout the last chapter, we focused on exploiting the systems, but now we will focus only on the systems that are already exploited. So, let us now move into the advanced section for post-exploitation.

In this section, we will use the information gathered from basic commands to achieve further success and access levels in the target's system.
