The page [lolbas-project.github.io ](https://lolbas-project.github.io/ ) is for Windows like [https://gtfobins.github.io/ ](https://gtfobins.github.io/ ) is for linux.\
Obviously, **there aren't SUID files or sudo privileges in Windows** , but it's useful to know **how** some **binaries** can be (ab)used to perform some kind of unexpected actions like **execute arbitrary code.**

## SBD
2020-07-15 15:43:14 +00:00
2022-10-27 23:22:18 +00:00
**sbd** is a Netcat-clone, designed to be portable and offer strong encryption. It runs on Unix-like operating systems and on Microsoft Win32. sbd features AES-CBC-128 + HMAC-SHA1 encryption (by Christophe Devine), program execution (-e option), choosing source port, continuous reconnection with delay, and some other nice features. sbd supports TCP/IP communication only. sbd.exe (part of the Kali linux distribution: /usr/share/windows-resources/sbd/sbd.exe) can be uploaded to a Windows box as a Netcat alternative.
