The Complete Ethical Hacking Bootcamp: Beginner To Advanced - Uploading and Downloading Files

This tutorial covers the implementation of download and upload functions in a reverse shell. It begins with coding the server to handle file downloads, followed by adding the download functionality to the reverse shell. The tutorial then introduces the upload function, implementing it on both the server and reverse shell. Finally, the program is tested and compiled to ensure the functions work correctly, allowing for file transfers between a target PC and a Kali Linux machine.

What are the two main functions discussed for the reverse shell?

Explain how the download command works in the context of the reverse shell.

What is the purpose of using base64 encoding in the upload and download functions?

Describe the process that occurs when a file is uploaded from the client to the server.

What happens if the specified file for upload does not exist on the target machine?

How does the server handle the received file contents after a download command?

What is the significance of checking the first few letters of the command in the reverse shell?

In what scenarios would the server need to decode the received file contents?

What are the potential file types that can be downloaded using the reverse shell?

How does the reverse shell ensure that it can handle different file formats during upload and download?
