Add SSHCommandHunt module for detecting SSH tunneling and pivoting commands#1098
Merged
Conversation
This module searches command history and text artifacts for evidence of SSH tunneling and network pivoting commands. Tools detected include: - OpenSSH (ssh -L, -R, -D) - PuTTY Plink - Chisel - Netsh portproxy - Ngrok - Cloudflared - Ligolo - FRP - Socat The module parses command history files such as: ConsoleHost_history.txt .bash_history .zsh_history This helps investigators identify tunneling and pivoting activity during incident response.

There is no Modules\bin folder in this repo, so we're not going to start doing that today. The Modules' BinaryUrl needs to point to the script that you want to be in the Modules\bin folder. Does that make sense?

As Andrew mentioned the repo cannot contain scripts or executables. You can host it on your own GitHub repo tho. |

Thanks Andrew. I’ve made the script public and updated the BinaryUrl to point to the script. |

I moved this to Apps\GitHub as well, btw. Since the Module is running something that's open source on GitHub, the appropriate subfolder is Apps\GitHub
