  • Basic Scan

sudo nmap -sSV -p- IP -oA nmap/initial -T4
sudo nmap -sSV -oA OUTPUTFILE -T4 -iL INPUTFILE.csv
  • -sSV defines the type of packet to send to the server and tells Nmap to try and determine any service on open ports

  • -p- tells Nmap to check all 65,535 ports (by default it will only check the most popular 1,000)

  • -oA OUTPUTFILE tells Nmap to output the findings in its three major formats at once using the filename "OUTPUTFILE"

  • -iL INPUTFILE tells Nmap to use the provided file as inputs

  • CTF Scan

nmap -sV -sC -oA nmap/basic IP
  • -sV : Probe open ports to determine service/version info
  • -sC : to enable the script
  • -oA : to save the results

After this quick command you can add "-p-" to run a full scan while you work with the previous result

nmap -sV -sC -oA -p- nmap/initial IP
  • Aggressive Nmap
nmap -A -T4 scanme.nmap.org
  • -A: Enable OS detection, version detection, script scanning, and traceroute

  • -T4: Defines the timing for the task (options are 0-5 and higher is faster)

  • Masscan

masscan IP -p 1-65535 --rate 100 -oX masscan.xml
  • Using DirBuster or GoBuster
  ./gobuster -u http://buffered.io/ -w /secondary/wordlists/more-lists/dirb/ -t 10
  -u url
  -w wordlist
  -t threads

  More subdomain :
  ./gobuster -m dns -w subdomains.txt -u google.com -i

  gobuster -w wordlist -u URL -r -e /secondary/wordlists/more-lists/dirb/

//
// Description
// -----------
// This script will make an outbound TCP connection to a hardcoded IP and port.
// The recipient will be given a shell running as the current user (apache normally).
//
// Limitations
// -----------
// proc_open and stream_set_blocking require PHP version 4.3+, or 5+
// Use of stream_select() on file descriptors returned by proc_open() will fail and return FALSE under Windows.
// Some compile-time options are needed for daemonisation (like pcntl, posix).  These are rarely available.
//
// Usage
// -----
// See http://pentestmonkey.net/tools/php-reverse-shell if you get stuck.

Spawning a Shell

To check if the shell is a tty shell, just enter tty command like the following.

tty

not a tty

tty

/dev/pts/0

Here are some commands which will enable you to spawn a tty shell: Python:

This is the most popular method for spawnings a tty shell. The target server should have python or python3 installed.

Methord Command
Python3 python -c "import pty;pty.spawn('/bin/bash')"
* Echo: echo 'os.system('/bin/bash')'
* sh: /bin/sh -i
* Bash: /bin/bash -i
* Perl: perl -e 'exec "/bin/sh";'
* Ruby: ruby: exec "/bin/sh"
* Lua: lua: os.execute('/bin/sh')
* From within vi: :!bash , :set shell=/bin/bash:shell
* From within nmap: !sh
Ctrl+Z
stty raw -echo
fg
export TERM=xterm
