Abstract

PivotSuite is a portable, platform independent and powerful network pivoting toolkit, Which helps Red Teamers / Penetration Testers to use a compromised system to move around inside a network. It is a Standalone Utility, Which can use as a Server or as a Client.

PivotSuite as a Server :

If the compromised host is directly accessible (Forward Connection) from Our pentest machine, Then we can run pivotsuite as a server on compromised machine and access the different subnet hosts from our pentest machine, Which was only accessible from compromised machine.

PivotSuite as a Client :

If the compromised host is behind a Firewall / NAT and isn’t directly accessible from our pentest machine, Then we can run pivotsuite as a server on pentest machine and pivotsuite as a client on compromised machine for creating a reverse tunnel (Reverse Connection). Using this we can reach different subnet hosts from our pentest machine, which was only accessible from compromised machine.
