Depending on the Exploit Category and Target Type the payload is choosen from the generic/shell_bind_tcp or generic/shell_reverse_tcp . For Example: For a Windows based SMB Exploit, the target is an Windows XP on x86 arch, when you select payload as generic/shell_bind_tcp it automatically selects windows/shell_bind_tcp. Similarly, for a solaris based samba exploit if you choose target as solaris on ppc architecture, and you selected payload as generic/shell_bind_tcp then it will load the payload as solaris/ppc/shell_bind_tcp. For the same Exploit if you choose target as solaris on x86 architecture, then the same payload will load solaris/x86/shell_bind_tcp. Regards, sairam Muhammad Rizwan wrote:
Hi, I have following question to ask. 1. Against most of the exploits, almost same payloads are shown i.e. generic/shell_bind_tcp, generic/shell_reverse_tcp etc. I am confusing why even smb, dcom, iis etc have same kind of payloads?
