This has left us with a Meterpreter session. We’ll use that session to run our persis‐
tence module. Using this module, we’ll have the ability to
select the payload we want
to use, which will be the means we use to connect to the target. The default payload is
a reverse-TCP
Meterpreter payload, which is the one we have been mostly using
when we’ve used Meterpreter. This will require that a handler
is set up to receive the
connection. We’ll also get to select the persistence mechanism,
determining whether
to start up the payload when the system boots or when the user logs in. You can also
determine the location of where to write the payload.
The system-defined temporary
directory is used by default.

shows loading up persistence on our
target.
