Just realized I didnt reply all either. Here was my reply. @Carlos: I havent changed anything... because I figured that I was doing something wrong instead of thinking that meterpreter had a bug. I am still getting used to developing for metasploit... @egypt: I figured thats what you meant. And I was looking at the C client. I will do some poking around in the REX libraries then. But I was on a POSIX (linux) client with a windows exe payload. On Sat, Mar 16, 2013 at 4:44 PM, <egypt () metasploit com> wrote:
Reply fail. Also autocorrect fail. The C client is old and UNmaintained. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <egypt () metasploit com> Date: Mar 16, 2013 3:36 PM Subject: Re: [framework] Meterpreter not exiting To: "Brian Seel" <brian.seel () gmail com> Cc: Are you looking the C client? That code is old and maintained. What msfconsole uses to talk to meterpreter is the ruby implementation in lib/rex/post/. I've noticed posix meterpreter hanging around after exit, but I haven't dug into why yet. What platform are you seeing this on? egypt On Mar 16, 2013 3:13 PM, "Brian Seel" <brian.seel () gmail com> wrote:I have been doing some testing with Meterpreter recently (building an extension), and I noticed that I ended up with a bunch of running meterpreter payloads in the process list. I checked if I had any open sessions, and I did not. I had been closing my sessions with the exit command, so I looked at the code for that in the source/client. That simply calls exit(0)... which seems like it would just exit the client of meterpreter, but not the meterpreter server running remotely (which is what I am seeing). First off, am I doing something wrong? Second, is this behavior by design? _______________________________________________ https://mail.metasploit.com/mailman/listinfo/framework_______________________________________________ https://mail.metasploit.com/mailman/listinfo/framework
