Overview

The session class represents a post-exploitation, uh, session. Sessions can be written to, read from, and interacted with. The underlying medium on which they are backed is arbitrary. For instance, when an exploit is provided with a command shell, either through a network connection or locally, the session's read and write operations end up reading from and writing to the shell that was spawned. The session object can be seen as a general means of interacting with various post-exploitation payloads through a common interface that is not necessarily tied to a network connection.
