NETCAT / 2 - Bind Shell

NETCAT BIND SHELL

- Layout topology for this exercise:

















- In this exercise Netcat is used for remote administration, taking advantage of Netcat's command redirection abilities. 


2.1 - Bind shell on Kali Linux and connection from Windows

- The option -e specifies a filename to be executed after connection. 

- In this way, /bin/bash is bound to port TCP 4444, redirecting any input (stdin), output (stdout) and error (stderr) from /bin/bash to the network, instead of redirecting them to the default console. 







- The consequence is that anybody connecting to port TCP 4444 will be able to use Kali's command prompt, enabling remote administration:





2.2 - Bind shell on Windows and connection from Kali Linux

- In the same way than before, Windows binds cmd.exe command to port TCP 4444, redirecting stdin, stdout, stderr to the network:




- As a consequence, when Kali connects to Windows's port 4444 achieves a command prompt from Windows, enabling remote administration:
