Persistent Implants
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
pwncat provides the ability to install and manage persistent implants on target hosts. The ``implant``
|
|
module provides a way to manage installed implants. Installing an individual implant is accomplished by
|
|
simply executing the implant module itself.
|
|
|
|
Installing An Implant
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
pwncat comes with a few standard implants. Installing the standard implants can be accomplished easily
|
|
as seen below.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# Install an authorized public key as the current user
|
|
(local) pwncat$ run implant.authorized_key key=./id_rsa
|
|
# Install an authorized key as another user (requires root access)
|
|
(local) pwncat$ run implant.authorized_key user=john key=./id_rsa
|
|
# Install a pam backdoor module
|
|
(local) pwncat$ run implant.pam password=s3cr3ts
|
|
# Install a backdoor user within /etc/passwd
|
|
(local) pwncat$ run implant.passwd backdoor_user=pwncat backdoor_pass=pwncat
|
|
|
|
List Installed Implants
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The generic ``implant`` module can be used to list installed implants.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# List installed implants
|
|
(local) pwncat$ run implant list
|
|
# The default subcommand is to list
|
|
(local) pwncat$ run implant
|
|
|
|
Escalate Using Local Implant
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The generic ``implant`` module provides the capability to utilize local implants to escalate privileges
|
|
to another user. This can be used to utilize an explicit escalation vice performing automated escalation
|
|
via the ``escalate`` command. During execution of the ``implant escalate`` subcommand, you will be
|
|
prompted for the implants to utilize.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# Attempt escalation with a local implant; will be prompted for which implant(s) to use
|
|
(local) pwncat$ run implant escalate
|
|
|
|
Removing Implants
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Once again, the ``implant`` module provides the ability to remove installed implants. As with the escalate
|
|
subcommand, you will be prompted for which implant to remove after running the module.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# Remove one or more implants
|
|
(local) pwncat$ run implant remove
|
|
|
|
Reconnecting With Implants
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Remote implants provide a way to reconnect to a target at will. Reconnecting can be accomplished by simply
|
|
executing the pwncat entrypoint and specifying either the IP address or unique host ID of the target.
|
|
pwncat will automatically check for installed implants and attempt to reconnect. See the Usage section for
|
|
examples.
