I'm writing a script which is meant to kill explorer.exe. I searched a bit about it and the best answer I've seen uses the taskkill
command. I tried it, but when I run it on my computer it says it worked but it doesn't actually kill it.
import os, socket
s = socket.socket()
host = socket.gethostname()
try:
s.bind((host, 75))
except socket.error:
print 'Error: Premission denied, please run as admin'
exit()
s.listen(5)
while True:
print '[*] Deploying Server on: ' + host
print '[*] Scanning..'
c, addr = s.accept()
print '[*] Connection established from ' + str(addr)
while True:
try:
os.system("taskkill /im explorer.exe")
cmd = raw_input()
if cmd == 'exit':
print '[!] Exiting'
c.send('exit')
s.close()
exit()
c.send(cmd)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print '[!] Exiting'
c.send('exit')
s.close()
exit()
the payload:
import os
import socket
import platform
print 'Starting'
system = platform.system()
windows = ['Microsoft', 'Windows']
s = socket.socket()
host = socket.gethostname()
print host
print platform.system()
try:
s.connect((host, 75))
except socket.error:
s.close()
s.connect((host, 75))
while True:
cmd = s.recv(1024)
if cmd == 'exit':
s.close()
exit()
os.system("taskkill /im explorer.exe")
print(os.system("taskkill /im explorer.exe"))
