Forum Thread: Meterpreter Questions

Hey,

I have 2 questions that I'm not managing to find the answer for on google and I was hoping you could help me out:

1. What happens if I create a backdoor and someones opens it while my pc is off? Is it still gonna work or not? Since I'm running kali on a virtual machine I can't have it on all the time.

2. If i manage to attack and setup a Meterpreter session on a victim successfully, what happens if I shutdown my machine? Am I gonna lose the session or when I come back is it still gonna be up and running?
