Structure

Each GTFO binary is defined in a file in the _gtfobins/ folder named as <binary name>.md, such file consists only of a YAML front matter which describes the binary and its functions.

The full syntax is the following:

description: Optional description of the binary
functions:
  FUNCTION:
    - description: Optional description of the example
      code: Code of the example
    - ....
  FUNCTION:
    - description: Optional description of the example
      code: Code of the example
    - ...
  ...

Where FUNCTION is one of the values described in the _data/functions.yml file.

Feel free to use any file in the _gtfobins/ folder as an example.

Pull request process

Vendor software is accepted as well as standard Unix binaries. Binaries and techniques that only works on certain operating systems and versions are accepted and such limitations shall be noted in the description field.

Before sending a pull request of a new binary or function, ensure the following:

  1. Verify the function works on at least one type of modern Unix system.
  2. Classifying SUID-related functions is tricky because they depend on the default shell (i.e. Debian /bin/sh doesn't drop the privileges, other Linux default shells do it) and on how the external command is called (i.e. exec() family vs. system() calls). Here an helpful check:
    • The function is suid-enabled if runs external commands on Ubuntu Linux maintaining the SUID privileges.
    • The function is suid-limited if runs external commands on Debian maintaining the SUID privileges, but it drops them on Ubuntu Linux.
    • The function is not suid-* flagged if drops the privileges in Debian Linux.
  3. Verify sudo-enabled function runs external commands under the sudo privileged context.

Pull requests adding new functions in _data/functions.yml are allowed and subjected to project maintainers vetting.
