During a Windows post-exploitation phase, you want your Meterpreter payload to run automatically every time the system boots, even if the user logs off. Which Metasploit module is specifically designed to create and register a new system service that starts your payload on boot, thereby providing reliable persistence across reboots?
The post/windows/manage/persistence_service module copies a chosen payload to disk, creates a new Windows service pointing to that executable, and sets the service to start automatically at boot, giving the attacker SYSTEM-level access even after a reboot. Enum_logged_on_users is an information-gathering module, autoroute handles pivoting, and bypassuac_eventvwr only elevates privileges temporarily without installing a boot-persistent service.
