RevShell (Reverse Shell Generator) is a powerful tool designed to streamline the process of setting up and managing reverse shell connections. It was created to assist security professionals, penetration testers, and system administrators in establishing secure remote connections for authorized testing and management purposes.
-
revshell: The main script that orchestrates the entire process. It sets up the ngrok tunnel, generates the reverse shell commands, and initiates the listener.
-
listener: A companion script that handles the actual listening part of the reverse shell connection.
-
funcs.sh: A utility script containing shared functions and color definitions for improved user interface.
- When you run
revshell ngrok <port>, it first checks if ngrok is installed and properly configured. - It then starts an ngrok tunnel on the specified port.
- The script retrieves the ngrok public URL and resolves it to an IP address.
- It generates reverse shell commands that can be run on the target system.
- Finally, it calls the listener to start listening for incoming connections on the specified port.
While RevShell is a powerful tool, it's crucial to use it responsibly and ethically. Always ensure you have explicit permission to test or access any systems. Unauthorized use of this tool may be illegal and unethical.
We're always looking to improve RevShell. Some areas we're considering for future development include:
- Support for additional tunneling services beyond ngrok
- Integration with other common penetration testing tools
- Enhanced encryption and security features
- GUI interface for easier management of multiple connections
Contributions and suggestions from the community are always welcome!
This tool was inspired by the need for a more streamlined approach to setting up reverse shells in various testing scenarios. We'd like to thank the open-source community for their invaluable resources and tools that made the development of RevShell possible.
