It communicates over the Metasploit Stager socket and provides a comprehensive client-side Ruby API. It features command history, tab completion, channels, and more. Meterpreter was originally written by skape for Metasploit 2.x, common extensions were merged for 3.x and is currently undergoing an overhaul for Metasploit 3.3. The server portion is implemented in plain C and is now compiled with MSVC, making it somewhat portable. The client can be written in any language but Metasploit has a full-featured Ruby client API.
