Forum Thread: [Metasploit] Do I Need to Put Another Payload on the Victims Computer if I Want to Use a Different Computer?

Hello!

So i put a virus (With permission) on a friends computer. I ran the "Persistence" command when after i gained control for the first time. Everything has been working fine. I was able to get back in and everything. But then my VM (Which had metasploit and kali linux on it) stopped working. So i downloaded metasploit on ubuntu. I tried making a new payload and putting it on my own computer. With success. But when i tried to access my backdoor made from the persistence command again. I wasn't able to. I know that when i make a payload it asks me for my IP address. And that probably converts it to a MAC address. So it can find that computer. So could it be that?

According to my VERY limited knowledge, the persistence will always call back to the same IP from which the command was run, so, if u could get your old IP back, should work.

Thank you. I believe you are correct!
