Post Exploitation using Metasploit pivot and port forward

The Metasploit Framework is a penetration testing toolkit, exploit development platform, and research tool. The framework includes hundreds of working remote exploits for a variety of platforms. Payloads, encoders, and nop slide generators can be mixed and matched with exploit modules to solve almost any exploit-related task. A very nice feature in Metasploit is the ability to pivot through a Meterpreter session to the network on the other side. This tutorial walks you through how this is done once you have a Meterpreter session on a foreign box. We begin right after a client side exploit has been achieved from an attacker machine running Ubuntu Linux to the victim machine running Windows XP.
