 Creating payload using msfvenom on Kali Linux  Creation of payload is Successful Starting the Apache services to facilitate listening for the incoming connection, which will be created by the payload. Using Metasploit handler to grab incoming connection. Setting handler payload type. Setting the host IP address that the payload will try to connect to. Setting the host port number that the payload will try to connect on. Starting the handler to await any connection attempts from our crafted payload. It will keep listening until a connection is established Target machine POV; By default our crafted payload that we name game will look like this.
