A stager establishes a communication channel between the attacker and the victim and reads in a stage payload to execute on the remote host.
What is a stager payload?
A staged payload is simply a payload that is as compact as possible and performs the single task of providing the means for an attacker to upload something bigger. Staged payloads are often used in exploit scenarios due to the fact that binary exploitation often results in very little space for shellcode to be stored.
What are different payloads?
There are three different types of payload modules in the Metasploit Framework: Singles, Stagers, and Stages. These different types allow for a great deal of versatility and can be useful across numerous types of scenarios. Whether or not a payload is staged, is represented by '/' in the payload name.
