Most importantly, switching between payloads in Metasploit is easy. Metasploit provides quick access to change payloads using the set payload command. Therefore, turning the Meterpreter or shell-based access into a more specific operation, such as adding a user and getting the remote desktop access, becomes easy. Generating shellcode to use in manual exploits also becomes easy by using the msfvenom application from the command line.
