msfvenom: List formats.
$ msfvenom -l formats
try on your machine
The command "msfvenom -l formats" is used in the Metasploit Framework (MSF) to list the available formats for generating payloads using msfvenom.
Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:
- "msfvenom": This is the command-line interface (CLI) tool in the Metasploit Framework used for generating various types of payloads.
- "-l": This flag is used to specify a list or show available options.
- "formats": This argument specifies that we want to list the available payload formats.
When you execute this command, it will display a list of all the payload formats that can be used for generating payloads. Each payload format represents a different type or format of payload that can be used, such as Windows executable, PowerShell script, DLL file, etc. This list will help you choose the appropriate format for your specific needs.
