You Should Know: Essential Offensive Security Commands & Techniques
1. Network Scanning with Nmap
nmap -sV -A -T4 target.com
– -sV: Service version detection
– -A: Aggressive scan (OS detection, script scanning)
– -T4: Faster execution
2. Web Application Testing with Burp Suite
- Intercept requests: Configure proxy (e.g.,
127.0.0.1:8080) - Use Intruder for brute-force attacks:
hydra -l admin -P passwords.txt target.com http-post-form "/login:user=^USER^&pass=^PASS^:F=incorrect"
3. Privilege Escalation (Linux)
Check SUID binaries:
find / -perm -4000 2>/dev/null
Exploit known vulnerabilities (e.g., Dirty Cow):
gcc -pthread dirty.c -o dirty && ./dirty
4. Windows Privilege Escalation
- Check unquoted service paths:
wmic service get name,displayname,pathname,startmode | findstr /i auto | findstr /i /v "C:\Windows\"
- Exploit with Metasploit:
msfconsole -q -x "use exploit/windows/local/service_permissions; set SESSION 1; run"
5. Password Cracking with Hashcat
hashcat -m 1000 hashes.txt rockyou.txt
– -m 1000: NTLM hash mode
6. Automated Vulnerability Scanning
- Nikto for web servers:
nikto -h target.com
- OpenVAS for comprehensive scans:
gvm-start
7. Cloud Security (AWS)
- Check misconfigured S3 buckets:
aws s3 ls s3://bucket-name --no-sign-request
- Enumerate IAM roles:
aws iam list-roles
What Undercode Say
Offensive security requires a mix of automated tools and manual techniques. Always:
1. Document findings (use `keepnote` or `CherryTree`).
2. Stay updated with exploits via:
searchsploit "Windows 10"
3. Practice legally on platforms like Hack The Box or TryHackMe.
Expected Output:
A detailed penetration test report including:
- Vulnerabilities ranked by severity (Critical/High/Medium).
- Proof-of-concept (PoC) commands.
- Mitigation steps (e.g., patch management, WAF rules).
