GitPwnd is a tool to aid in network penetration tests. GitPwnd allows an attacker to send commands to compromised machines and receive the results back using a git repo as the command and control transport layer. By using git as the communication mechanism, the compromised machines don't need to communicate directly with your attack server that is likely at a host or IP that's untrusted by the compromised machine.

Currently GitPwnd assumes that the command and control git repo is hosted on GitHub, but this is just an implementation detail for the current iteration. The same technique is equally applicable to any service that can host a git repo, whether it is BitBucket, Gitlab, etc.

The GitPwnd setup script (setup.py) and server (server/) were written and tested using Python3, but Python 2.7 will likely work as well. The bootstrapping process to set up persistence on compromised machines was tested on Python 2.7.

# Install Python dependencies
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt --user

# Set up config
$ cp config.yml.example config.yml
# Configure config.yml with your custom info

# Run the setup script
$ python3 setup.py config.yml

$ cd server/
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt --user
$ python3 server.py
