Penelope is a shell handler designed to be easy to use and intended to replace netcat when exploiting RCE vulnerabilities. It is compatible with Linux and macOS and requires Python 3.6 or higher.
It is a standalone script that does not require any installation or external dependencies, and it is intended to remain this way.
Among the main features are:
Penelope can work in conjunction with metasploit exploits by disabling the default handler with set DisablePayloadHandler True
One useful feature regarding Windows shells is that they can be automatically upgraded to meterpreter shells by running the “meterpreter” module.
./penelope.py # Listening for reverse shells on 0.0.0.0:4444
./penelope.py -a # Listening for reverse shells on 0.0.0.0:4444 and show reverse shell payloads based on the current Listeners
./penelope.py 5555 # Listening for reverse shells on 0.0.0.0:5555
./penelope.py 5555 -i eth0 # Listening for reverse shells on eth0:5555
./penelope.py 1111 2222 3333 # Listening for reverse shells on 0.0.0.0:1111, 0.0.0.0:2222, 0.0.0.0:3333
./penelope.py -c target 3333 # Connect to a bind shell on target:3333
