Summary: Meterpreter is a trojan-type malware that allows attackers to remotely control infected systems by injecting itself into existing processes.

Commonly spread via infected email attachments, malicious ads, and social engineering, it often leads to further malware infections like ransomware. Its primary goals include data theft and financial gain. Protection involves using antivirus tools, firewalls, IDS/IPS systems, employee training, and regularly updating software.
