moonwalk is a 400 KB single-binary executable that can clear your traces while penetration testing a Unix machine. It saves the state of system logs pre-exploitation and reverts that state including the filesystem timestamps post-exploitation leaving zero traces of a ghost in the shell.

Once you get a shell into the target Unix machine, start a moonwalk session by running this command:
$ moonwalk start
While you’re doing recon/exploitation and messing with any files, get the touch
timestamp command of a file beforehand to revert it back after you’ve accessed/modified it:
$ moonwalk get ~/.bash_history
Post-exploitation, clear your traces and close the session with this command:
$ moonwalk finish
