Hack Like a Pro: The Ultimate List of Hacking Scripts for Metasploit's Meterpreter

Welcome back, my hacker apprentices!

Metasploit framework is an incredible hacking and pentesting tool that every hacker worth their salt should be conversant and capable on.

In a previous post, I had provided you a cheat sheet of meterpreter commands. These commands are essential to running Metasploit's meterpreter, but in recent years, numerous hackers and security pros have developed scripts that we can run from the meterpreter that can be much more effective and malicious.

In this post, I will try to provide you the most complete list and description available anywhere on the web. You will want to bookmark this page too, as no one remembers all these scripts and it's likely you will want to return here at a later time to find a particular script for a particular hack.

Please note that new meterpreter scripts are being developed every day. This list attempts to provide you with a complete list of scripts as of this writing. If you find errors or typos, please feel free to post them here, so I will try correct them as soon as humanly possible.
