Shellshock offensive example

shellshock check​

Overview​

The "shellshock check" workflow is designed to simulate an attack scenario where a system is vulnerable to the ShellShock exploit (CVE-2014-6271). It identifies and exploits a vulnerable path to gain shell access on a specified target.

How It Works​

  1. Input Node: Accepts the target IP address for the scan.
  2. Nmap Operation: Scans the target to identify open ports and services
  3. HTTPX Parser: Filters and formats HTTP service responses.
  4. Feroxbuster Operation: Discovers hidden web content on the target.
  5. Hacking Node: Executes a simulated attack against the vulnerable service.
  6. Combine Outputs: Gathers and structures results for further analysis.

Who is this for?​

  • Security professionals conducting penetration tests.
  • Red teams simulating real-world attack scenarios.
  • Organizations assessing their vulnerability management strategies.

What problem does this workflow solve?​

  • Automates the identification of vulnerabilities in web services.
  • Streamlines the process of simulating attacks to verify security postures.
  • Provides structured outputs for easy reporting and analysis.
