Exploits
Active Exploits
Active exploits will exploit a specific host, run until completion, and then exit.
You can force an active module to the background by passing ‘-j’ to the 'exploit' command.
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > exploit -j
[*] Exploit running as background job.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>Passive Exploits
Passive exploits wait for incoming hosts and exploit them as they connect.
Passive exploits almost always focus on clients such as web browsers, FTP clients, etc.
Passive exploits report shells as they happen can be enumerated by passing ‘-l’ to the 'sessions' command. Passing ‘-i’ will interact with a shell.

C:\Documents and Settings\victim\Desktop>Using Exploits In Metasploit
Selecting an exploit in Metasploit adds the exploit and check commands to msfconsole.
Using an exploit also adds more options to the show command.
