This project was created in order to quickly create Kali Linux based drones built on inexpensive hardware such as a Raspberry Pi, to be plugged in to a target network during a physical penetration test.

Anything that runs Kali should work with these scripts just fine.

Description

These scripts setup one Kali machine (the drone) to phone-home to another Kali machine (the C&C) over SSH on port 443. Port 2222 on the C&C is then forwarded to port 22 on the drone, allowing you to SSH into the drone through the reverse tunnel and wreak havoc... er... pentest the target network. =P

By default, the drone will attempt an outgoing SSH connection to port 443 every 5 minutes.

Install instructions

Install Kali on your main computer (C&C), and your drone (the one you will leave plugged in to the target network). As always, be sure to change the root password on both machines so that it is not the default.

All scripts should be run as root on both machines.

Download the necessary files to each machine (both the drone and C&C).

	cd /opt
	git clone https://github.com/Wh1t3Rh1n0/ssh-phone-home

Modify /opt/ssh-phone-home/phone-home.sh to point to your C&C's IP/hostname.

Example:

	CNC_IP=64.233.176.138

Setup the drone by running the setup script on that machine:

	bash /opt/ssh-phone-home/setup-drone.sh

Copy the drone's public SSH key to /opt/ssh-phone-home/id_rsa.pub on the C&C.

Setup the C&C server by running the C&C setup script on that machine:

	bash /opt/ssh-phone-home/setup-cnc.sh

This script will make the following changes to your C&C machine:

• Create the non-root user "drone", that the drone will connect as.
• Import drone's public SSH key for SSH login without a password.
• Configure SSH to run on port 443 as well as the default port 22.

C&C Command Reference

These commands come in handy after you have everything setup and are working from the C&C server.

Start the SSH service:

	service ssh start

Enable SSH service start at boot:

	update-rc.d ssh enable

Check for current drone connections:

	netstat -antp | grep ":443.\+ESTABLISHED.\+/sshd"

Watch for incoming drone connections:

	watch 'netstat -antp | grep ":443.\+ESTABLISHED.\+/sshd"'

Close the connection from a drone.

Where ####/sshd is the PID listed in output from the previous command:

	kill ####

Login to the drone:

	ssh root@localhost -p 2222
