Shells : Little Script For Generating Revshells

Shells is a script for generating common revshells fast and easy. Especially nice when in need of PowerShell and Python revshells, which can be a PITA getting correctly formatted.

PowerShell revshells

  • Shows username@computer, above the prompt and working-directory
  • Has a partial AMSI-bypass, making some stuff a bit easier
  • TCP and UDP
  • Windows Powershell and Core Powershell
  • Functions for uploading and downloading files. (Using Updog by sc0tfree)

ngrok support

  • ngrok can be started/stopped from inside the script
  • payloads will be genereated with the ngrok addresses

Updog support

  • you can start/stop Updog from inside the script
  • The PowerShell revshells have upload/download function embedded
  • To upload from nix using curl: curl -F path="absolute path for Updog-folder" -F file=filename http://UpdogIP/upload

To install Shells

git clone https://github.com/4ndr34z/shells
cd shells
./install.sh
