RedShell – An interactive command prompt that executes commands through proxychains and automatically logs them on a Cobalt Strike team server
[*]
An interactive command prompt that executes commands through proxychains and automatically logs them on a Cobalt Strike team server.
Installation
RedShell runs on Python 3. It also requires a Cobalt Strike client installed on the system where it runs.
Install dependencies:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Install proxychains-ng (https://github.com/rofl0r/proxychains-ng):
apt install proxychains4
Make the agscript wrapper executable:
chmod +x agscript.sh
Usage
Start a socks listener on a beacon in your Cobalt Strike client.
Start RedShell:
$ python3 redshell.py

Connecting to Cobalt Strike
Set Cobalt Strike connection options:
RedShell> set cs_host 127.0.0.1
RedShell> set cs_port 50050
RedShell> set cs_user somedude
Connect to team server (you will be prompted for the team server password):
RedShell> connect
Enter Cobalt Strike password:

Execute commands through the beacon socks proxy. These can be run in the context of the current user or via sudo. Specifying ‘proxychains’ in the command is optional. Commands are forced through proxychains. MITRE ATT&CK Tactic IDs are optional. Including
RedShell> beacon_exec -h
usage: beacon_exec [-h] [-t TTP] ...
Execute a command through proxychains/beacon socks proxy and simultaneously log it to the teamserver.
positional arguments:
command Command to execute through the proxy.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t TTP, --ttp TTP MITRE ATT&CK Tactic IDs. Comma delimited to specify multiple.
example:
beacon_exec -t T1003,T1075 cme smb --local-auth -u Administrator -H C713B1D611657D0687A568122193F230 --sam 192.168.1.1

Note on passwords used in beacon_exec commands – special characters in passwords may be interpreted as shell meta characters, which could cause commands to fail. To get around this, set the password option and then invoke with ‘$password’. Example:
RedShell> set password Test12345
password - was: ''
now: 'Test12345'
RedShell> beacon_exec cme smb --local-auth -u administrator -p $password --shares 192.168.1.14
Note on the Redshell and CS install directory options – the script needs to know where it lives, as well as Cobalt Strike. If stuff blows up, be sure to set the directories accordingly:
RedShell> set redshell_directory /opt/redshell
RedShell> set cs_directory /opt/cobaltstrike
General Features
RedShell includes commands for navigating the file system:
RedShell> cd /opt/redshell/
RedShell> pwd
/opt/redshell
Additional commands can be run via the shell command or via the ‘!’ shortcut:
RedShell> shell date
Mon 29 Jul 2019 05:33:02 PM MDT
RedShell> !date
Mon 29 Jul 2019 05:33:03 PM MDT
Commands are tracked and accessible via the history command:
RedShell> history
1 load_config config.txt
2 status
3 help
RedShell also includes tab-completion and clearing the terminal window via ctrl + l.
