kandi X-RAY | pwncat Summary

pwncat is a Python library typically used in Utilities, Command Line Interface applications. pwncat has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has medium support. However pwncat has 6 bugs and it build file is not available. You can install using 'pip install pwncat' or download it from GitHub, PyPI.

pwncat is a post-exploitation platform ~~for Linux targets~~. It started out as a wrapper around basic bind and reverse shells and has grown from there. It streamlines common red team operations while staging code from your attacker machine, not the target. pwncat used to only support Linux, but there has been a lot of work recently to support multiple platforms. Currently, there is alpha support for Windows targets. Please see the latest documentation for details on how to use pwncat with a Windows target. pwncat intercepts the raw communication with a remote shell and allows the user to perform automated actions on the remote host including enumeration, implant installation and even privilege escalation. After receiving a connection, pwncat will setup some common configurations for working with remote shells. pwncat knows how to spawn pty's with a few different methods and will cross-reference the methods with the executables previously enumerated. After spawning a pty, it will setup the controlling terminal in raw mode, so you can interact in a similar fashion to ssh. pwncat will also synchronize the remote pty settings (such as rows, columns, TERM environment variable) with your local settings to ensure the shell behaves correctly with interactive applications such as vim or nano.

            Argparse outputting help text twice
            Asked 2022-Feb-25 at 21:44

            After an hour googling, I can't find anybody who has had anything resembling this issue besides myself. I created a command line interface with argparse. Originally I had tried to leverage argparse's built in help text behavior. But my boss isn't satisfied with the default help text, so he is having me write up the full usage/help text in a text file and just display the entire file.

            For some reason, in a certain case, its outputting the text twice.

            Here is the basics of how my program is broken down:

            I have a top level parser. I read in my help text file, set it to a string help_text, and then set "usage=help_text" on the parser. Then I create subparsers (4 of them and then a base case) to create subcommands. Only one of those subparsers has any additional arguments (one positional, one optional). Before I reworked the help text, I had help text for each individual subcommand by using "help=" but now those are all blank. Lastly, I have set up a base case to display the help text whenever no subcommands are given.

            Here is the behavior I'm getting:

            When I call the main function with no subcommands and no arguments, my help_text from the text file outputs, and then like 2-3 additional lines of boiler plate I can't seem to get rid of. Also because the word usage appears in my text file, it says "usage: usage"

            When I call the main command and then type --help, the exact same thing happens as above.

            When I call the one subcommand that has a required positional argument and I don't include that argument... it spits out the entire help text twice. Right above the second time it prints, it prints the default usage line for that subcommand.

            Lastly, when I use a different subcommand that has no arguments and give it an argument (one too many) it spits out everything completely correctly without even the extra couple lines at the end.

            I don't know how to make heads or tales about this. Here is the main function of the script (I can verify that this problem occurs only in the main function where argparse is used, not the other functions that the main function calls):

            Solving conda environment stuck

            I'm trying to install conda environment using the command:

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Dec-22 at 18:02

            This solves fine (), but is indeed a complex solve mainly due to:

            • underspecification
            • lack of modularization
            Underspecification

            This particular environment specification ends up installing well over 300 packages. And there isn't a single one of those that are constrained by the specification. That is a huge SAT problem to solve and Conda will struggle with this. Mamba will help solve faster, but providing additional constraints can vastly reduce the solution space.

            At minimum, specify a Python version (major.minor), such as python=3.9. This is the single most effective constraint.

            Beyond that, putting minimum requirements on central packages (those that are dependencies of others) can help, such as minimum NumPy.

            Lack of Modularization

            I assume the name "devenv" means this is a development environment. So, I get that one wants all these tools immediately at hand. However, Conda environment activation is so simple, and most IDE tooling these days (Spyder, VSCode, Jupyter) encourages separation of infrastructure and the execution kernel. Being more thoughtful about how environments (emphasis on the plural) are organized and work together, can go a long way in having a sustainable and painless data science workflow.

            The environment at hand has multiple red flags in my book:

            • conda-build should be in base and only in base
            • snakemake should be in a dedicated environment
            • notebook (i.e., Jupyter) should be in a dedicated environment, co-installed with nb_conda_kernels; all kernel environments need are ipykernel

            I'd probably also have the linting/formatting packages separated, but that's less an issue. The real killer though is snakemake - it's just a massive piece of infrastructure and I'd strongly encourage keeping that separated.

            By default, when you use mysqldump DB, the output includes table-creation statements, but no CREATE DATABASE statement. It just assumes you have created an empty schema first.

            Shell script to pull row counts from all Hive tables in multiple Hive databases
            Asked 2021-Nov-22 at 07:57

            I am trying to create a shell script that will pull row counts in all tables from multiple databases. All of the databases follow the same naming convention "the_same_databasename_<%>" except the final layer in the name, which varies. I am trying to run the following:

            use ; show tables; select count(*) from ;

            Since I have 40 different databases, I would need to run the first two queries for each database 40 different times, plus the select count query even more depending on how many table in the database (very time consuming). I have my PuTTy configuration settings set to save my PuTTy sessions into a .txt on my local directory, so I can have the row count results displayed right in my command line interface. So far this is what I have but not sure how to include the final commands to get the actual row counts from the tables in each database.

            Well, I'm not entirely sure what was wrong, but I think it came down to one process not finishing before another process started. I inserted a sleep 5 in the script - just before the last line where I'm trying to connect to the server, and that worked. I also wrapped the line in a while loop, giving it up to 5 attempts to connect to the server, and if it fails, it will wait a further 5 seconds. Currently this seems to work fairly reliably and I am able to connect to the MySQL server.

            So either way the problem appears to be solved.

            No vulnerabilities reported

            Install pwncat

            pwncat only depends on a working Python development environment running on Linux. In order to install some of the packages required with pip, you will likely need your distribution's "Python Development" package. On Debian based systems, this is python-dev. For Arch, the development files are shipped with the main Python repository. For Enterprise Linux, the package is named python-devel.

            Support

            pwncat now supports connections from Windows targets starting at v0.4.0a1. The Windows platform utilizes a .Net-based C2 library which is loaded automatically. Windows targets should connect with either a cmd.exe or powershell.exe shell, and pwncat will take care of the rest. The libraries implementing the C2 are implemented at pwncat-windows-c2. The DLLs for the C2 will be automatically downloaded from the targeted release for you. If you do not have internet connectivity on your target machine, you can tell pwncat to pre-stage the DLLs using the --download-plugins argument. If you are running a release version of pwncat, you can also download a tarball of all built-in plugins from the releases page. The plugins are stored by default in ~/.local/share/pwncat, however this is configurable with the plugin_path configuration. If you download the packaged set of plugins from the releases page, you should extract it to the path pointed to by plugin_path. Aside from the main C2 DLLs, other plugins may also be available. Currently, the only provided default plugins are the C2 and an implementation of BadPotato. pwncat can reflectively load .Net binaries to be used a plugins for the C2. For more information on Windows C2 plugins, please see the documentation.
