Question

[kenan3507]

Can we only use payloads created with metasploit?

Would it be a problem if we use another payload developed in C ++?

Hi kenan3507, sorry for the really late answer. You can of course use payloads developed in C++. Compile it to an executable and use pe_to_shellcode to convert it to shellcode format.

You can take a look at this section to get an idea. Here we convert mimikatz.exe to shellcode: https://github.com/govolution/avet/blob/9dd9433510ee01c27e6912d24a4c0fcae0742d0b/build/build_rc4enc_mimikatz_win64.sh#L38-L40
