Pystinger is a Python-based tool that enables SOCKS4 proxying and port mapping through webshells. It can be integrated with Metasploit Framework, Viper, and Cobalt Strike to maintain online sessions.
Currently, it supports three proxy script types: PHP, JSP(X), and ASPX.
Imagine a scenario where:
http://example.com:8080
192.168.3.11
Pystinger allows you to set up a SOCKS4 proxy or perform port mapping in this environment.
proxy.jsp
(or PHP/ASPX equivalent) to the target. http://example.com:8080/proxy.jsp
At this stage, the VPS will host a proxy on 127.0.0.1:60000
that forwards traffic securely through the target server.
For multi-host or lateral movement scenarios:
192.168.3.11
) or 0.0.0.0
for broader reach.60020
