How does the Infection Monkey Agent propagate to a new machine?

The agent propagates using remote code execution vulnerabilities. Once the agent has achieved remote code execution on the victim, it executes commands that are similar to the ones described in manual run page.

On Windows targets, the agent is copied to C:\Windows\temp\monkey64.exe. On Linux targets, it is copied to /tmp/monkey.
