This blog-style tutorial shows how to perform network discovery from a compromised host by tunneling scan traffic through a Meterpreter session: add a Metasploit route for the target subnet, run the auxiliary/server/socks4a module to create a local SOCKS proxy, configure proxychains, and run Nmap via the proxy (recommended flags: -sT and -Pn). The post provides step-by-step configuration advice and notes about scan noisiness and potential IDS alerts.
