Pivoting Commands

Pivoting for Red Teamers Pivoting in Red Team Operations: A Complete Guide Introduction In a real-world red team operation , gaining initial access is just the beginning. The real challenge is pivoting —the ability to move laterally, escalate privileges, and compromise additional systems within the network. What is Pivoting? Pivoting is a technique used to route traffic through a compromised host to access internal networks that are not directly reachable. Types of Pivoting Network Pivoting : Routes network traffic through a compromised host (e.g., SSH Tunneling, Metasploit, ProxyChains). Port Forwarding : Exposes specific ports from an internal machine to the attacker (e.g., SSH Local Port Forwarding).

SQLDB Pentest

Pivoting for Red Teamers SQL Database & SQL Injection Pentesting Cheat Sheet SQL databases store crucial application data, and misconfigurations can make them vulnerable to SQL Injection (SQLi) attacks. This guide covers database enumeration, privilege escalation, and SQL injection techniques. Step 1: Identifying SQL Database Type Check the database type by sending payloads in the input fields or URL: ' OR 1=1 -- (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL) ' UNION SELECT 1,2,3 -- (Check column count) ' AND 1=CONVERT(int,@@version) -- (MSSQL Test) Observe the error messages for database identification. Step 2: Enumerating Database Tables & Columns Use SQL queries to extract database structure. For MySQL: SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema=DATABASE(); SELECT column_name FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name='user...
