What is ./Payload.sh?
./Payload.sh is a bash script that simplifies the process of delivering malicious payloads onto Linux systems that have been compromised. The script allows an attacker to easily download and execute various hacking tools and malware.
Once an attacker has gained initial access to a system, ./Payload.sh can be transferred over and run to escalate privileges, maintain persistence, and carry out further malicious actions. It handles the tasks of setting up communication channels and retrieving payloads from remote servers.
The script attempts to disable security controls on the target system and sets up backdoors for continued access. It can download a variety of hacking tools suites for reconnaissance, lateral movement, covering tracks, capturing credentials etc. The payloads can be customized based on the attacker's objectives.
While the payloads and specific actions would depend on the attacker, ./Payload.sh represents a ready-to-use framework that greatly reduces the effort for post-exploitation activities after an initial foothold is gained during a security breach.
