(Almost) All The Ways to File Transfer

File Transfer is a crucial, and in most cases, an inevitable step of Post-Exploitation. You’ve successfully gained initial access on your target machine, and with file transfers, you can upload tools on the target to try and elevate your privileges, exfiltrate sensitive data from the target back to your machine or just move around files to/from the target and you. Today, we’ll cover some of the popular (and not popular) ways to file transfer from our attacker machine (preferrably Kali Linux) to a Windows or Linux target. I’ll cover how to set up a server on the attacker machine and then show how the target get download the file and vice versa. At the end, we’ll cover the weaknesses of plaintext file transfers and demonstrate some encrypted methods of file transfer. <a href="https://medium.com/@PenTest_duck/almost-all-the-ways-to-file-transfer-1bd6bf710d65">Website</a>
