Hey there.
Welcome to our lab environment.
As I mentioned before, I have here two machines.
This one here is the attacker machine, and this
other one here is my victim machine.
Both of them are Kali Linux virtual machines, but they
could be any Linux machine you want.
Okay, so let's start our installation process.
We'll be using here the Python PIP to install the pwncat.
So first of all, we need to ensure that our system is up
to date. For that, I will open the terminal, log as root,
and then use apt‑get update.
Perfect.
Now let's run an apt‑get upgrade to ensure that
everything is in the latest version.
This process here might take a little while so to not
waste your time, I'll speed up this video.
Perfect.
It is completed. Now we need to install the Python PIP. For that,
I'll use apt‑get install python3‑pip. Perfect.
It looks like we have the PIP installed.
Now, we can finally use the PIP to install pwncat. For that, I'll
type pip3 then install and then pwncat‑cs. Perfect.
This will download and install all the necessary files.
We don't need to worry about downloading the source code and setting up
the environment variables. PIP does everything for us. And once this is
completed, we're ready to run pwncat. And just to test if this is
working, I'll run the pwncat‑cs command.
Amazing.
It works.
So in the next demo, we'll see how to get our reverse shell with
pwncat and how to use some basic features.
