Reverse Shell Dying? No problem try this.

Note: If you need to zoom in, you can click on the image.

The secret to keeping your reverse shell alive is the payload type. Let say you set up a multi/handler - A module that allows you to handle reverse shell and meterpreter shell in Metasploit. You want your multi/handler payload to be the same type of payload as your executable that you generated via MSFVenom.

For example: If your executable is running a staged payload, you want your multi/handler to be staged payload. If your executable is running a stage less payload, then you want your multi/handler to be stage less payload. This applies to meterpreter type shell.

I hope this post can save you from any frustration with Metasploit.
