Yum Package Manager Persistence
Description
This module will run a payload when the package manager is used. No handler is ran automatically so you must configure an appropriate exploit/multi/handler to connect. Module modifies a yum plugin to launch a binary of choice. grep -F 'enabled=1' /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/ will show what plugins are currently enabled on the system.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
