Infectious media generator

In this recipe, we will build an infectious file that can be put on USBs, CDs, or DVDs. We will generate a malicious payload that will autorun when entered into a victim PC. We will simulate the execution; however, if you have physical test machines, it is much easier to test.

Getting ready

Let's ensure the following prerequisites:

• Kali Linux is running, and you are logged in as root
• Windows VM is up and running

How to do it...

We will build our infections media:

1. From the Applications menu, select Social Engineering Tools | SET Social Engineering Toolkit. You will be presented with the following screen:

Initial setookit screen

2. Select the top option 1) Social-Engineering Attacks.
3. Select 3) Infectious media generator.
4. Select 2) Standard Metasploit Executable.
5. Let's use 2) Windows Reverse_TCP Meterpreter.
6. For the LHOST, use the IP address of your Kali machine 192.168.56.10.
7. Enter the port for callback 8123.
8. It will then generate the payload. Go ahead and start a listener right now...
