# Metasploit

## Autoroute

<pre><code><strong>meterpreter > 
</strong><strong>run autoroute -s 10.1.13.0/24
</strong></code></pre>

## PortFwd

> The **portfwd** command from within the Meterpreter shell is most commonly used as a pivoting technique, allowing direct access to machines otherwise inaccessible from the attacking system.&#x20;

Meterpreter-based portfwd command that adds a forwarding rule to the current Meterpreter session. This rule forwards network traffic on port 3300 on the local machine to port 3389 (RDP) on the target.

```
portfwd add -l 3300 -p 3389 -r <IPaddressofTarget>
```

### Add

```
meterpreter > 
portfwd add –l 3389 –p 3389 –r  [target host]
```

* **add** will add the port forwarding to the list and will essentially create a tunnel for us. Please note, this tunnel will also exist outside the Metasploit console, making it available to any terminal session.
* **-l 3389** is the local port that will be listening and forwarded to our target. This can be any port on your machine, as long as it’s not already being used.
* **-p 3389** is the destination port on our targeting host.
* **-r \[target host]** is the our targeted system’s IP or hostname.

### Delete

Entries are deleted very much like the previous command. Once again from an active Meterpreter session, we would type the following:

```
meterpreter > 
portfwd delete –l 3389 –p 3389 –r [target host]
```

### List

This argument needs no options and provides us with a list of currently listening and forwarded ports.

```
meterpreter > 
portfwd list
```

### Flush

This argument will allow us to remove all the local port forward at once.

```
meterpreter > 
portfwd flush
```
