In this article, I will show you how you can bind the exe file with any file (like image, PDF, video, audio). When the victim clicks on that file we get the Meterpreter session in our Metasploit console.

In this example, I am using these two files. One is the image skull image and another one is the exe file.
2. Now convert the jpg image to icon(.ico) format. Open your browser and google for "ico converter" and choose any of them. Upload the file and choose the size 64*64.

4. Click on the advanced tab.
- Click on the SFX option.
5. A window will appear.

6. Now go to the modes Tab.

7. Now click on the Text and icon. Here choose the converted ico file.
