One of the most widely used tools for creating a reverse shell is netcat which is available for both Windows & Linux but for the sake of my sanity and the fact nobody cares I won't waste anybody's time explaining how this works on Windows. I have even used these in the past on my own machines with some clever scripting as a safety back door just in case I lock myself (it happens more often than you think). The attacking machine is patiently sat their listening on a port on which it receives the connection from the Target Machine, once this connection takes place you can usually have the target machine hand over control to you, this is particularly useful if you want to connect remotely to a target machine that is behind a firewall or a router. So what's Reverse Shell you say.Ī reverse shell is a type of connection in which the target machine (Somebody Else's Computer) communicates back to the attacking machine (Your Computer). This is something people still often overlook and do not take seriously enough, information on all computer systems travels both in and out of a machine unless that machine has been been strictly configured not to, and trust me there's not many people or corporations that configure their machines this way.
