# Persistence Through Reverse/Bind Shells

## Metadata
|
|
|
|
- **Author:** Elastic
|
|
- **Description:** This hunt provides several OSQuery queries that can aid in the detection of reverse/bind shells. Reverse shells are a type of shell in which the target machine communicates back to the attacking machine. Bind shells are a type of shell in which the target machine opens a communication port on the victim machine and waits for an attacker to connect to it. These shells can be used by attackers to gain remote access to a system.

## Query
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT (
|
|
CASE family
|
|
WHEN 2 THEN 'IP4'
|
|
WHEN 10 THEN 'IP6'
|
|
ELSE family END
|
|
) AS family, (
|
|
CASE protocol
|
|
WHEN 6 THEN 'TCP'
|
|
WHEN 17 THEN 'UDP'
|
|
ELSE protocol END
|
|
) AS protocol, local_address, local_port,
|
|
remote_address, remote_port
|
|
FROM process_open_sockets
|
|
WHERE family IN (2, 10)
|
|
AND protocol IN (6, 17)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT cmdline, name, path, pid, state, threads, total_size
|
|
FROM processes
|
|
WHERE cmdline != ''
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT pid, address, port, socket, protocol, path FROM listening_ports
|
|
```

## Notes
|
|
|
|
- The hunt provides OSQuery queries to detect reverse/bind shells on Linux systems.
|
|
- The first hunt query retrieves information about open sockets on the system.
|
|
- The second hunt query retrieves information about running processes on the system.
|
|
- The third hunt query retrieves information about listening ports on the system.
|
|
- Investigate strange or unexpected open sockets, processes, or listening ports on the system.
|
|
- Use the information from each hunt to pivot and investigate further for potential reverse/bind shells.
