![]() Once successfully uploaded, an adversary can use the web shell to leverage other exploitation techniques to escalate privileges and to issue commands remotely. For example, these vulnerabilities can exist in content management systems (CMS) or web server software. Using network reconnaissance tools, an adversary can identify vulnerabilities that can be exploited and result in the installation of a web shell. Perl, Ruby, Python, and Unix shell scripts are also used. The most commonly observed web shells are written in languages that are widely supported, such as PHP and ASP. Infected web servers can be either Internet-facing or internal to the network, where the web shell is used to pivot further to internal hosts.Ī web shell can be written in any language that the target web server supports. Source: C99.A web shell is a script that can be uploaded to a web server to enable remote administration of the machine. Pay attention to images, scripts, css, external request, mail functions, encoded code. When using tools, be carefull, backdoors may be hidden. Malwares like Smoke Loader (SQL injection), CrimePack (SQL injection) or Zeus (remote access via upload) have been corrupted. More sophisticated piracy tools have some vulnerabilities too. The combo flaw + inventory of infected website is an easy way, for webshells' authors, to control a network of server (ex: creating a botnet) by letting to others the system corruption task. Script kiddies, lamers, and inattentive pirates will use webshells without looking carefully at the code. The malicious script from looks like this: 1Ī= new /**/ Image() a. The goal is always the same : each time the page is displayed, the website hosting the webshell will do a request to the malicious address and send the URL where it comes from, permiting to the malicious author to know all the website hosting the backdoored webshell. /Next code isn't for set_time_limit( 0) įoreach( $host_allow as $k=> $v), 500) Īnd unpack code can be a lot more complex than only base64_decode it or hex_to_ascii it. in fact the flaw was deliberately inserted into the code to permit the webshell author to bypass it. This webshell is protected by a customizable password, so interface access is limited to people who know the password.īut the password verification mechanism is vulnerable. Attackers uploads it on web server in order to get information and above all execute commands with web user privileges (ex: www-data). ![]()
