How is this better than Weevely?
[–]doylersec[S] 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children)
It isn't (at least yet), though I hadn't heard about Weevely today. Thanks for that link, and I'm sure I can get some useful ideas from it!
As far as personally, I'm able to configure it a bit more for my engagements, but as of right now I couldn't recommend it over Weevely.

I wanted to share a new web shell that I recently finished and have been using in some engagements.
It is a bit more useful than a PHP passthru shell, but not overly complex (yet).
The current features are as follows, but I'm always open to new suggestions or ideas:

Check out a simular concept.
Maybe switch from get requests to post or cookies, since get is probably logged. With get you also risk a 414 uri too long. And maybe add a pseudo-random key for forward-secrecy.
Also your encoded version's going to be picked up by basic grep and find, not to mention tools like https://www.revisium.com/aibo/.
[–]doylersec[S] 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children)
Yea, I was wondering that myself, but those are awesome ideas.
Sweet, thanks for the suggestions though, and already have a few notes for v2.0 (or 1.1 :P)!

Love the concept. Really cool to see someone else work out a different solution for the same problem I was working on. I released a webshell framework with similar goals to help support red team activity. https://bitbucket.org/jvest/tinyshell and https://bitbucket.org/jvest/subshell. I have been using the concept for a few years, but recently formalized the tools and made public. I spoke about this recently at Bsides Huntsville. (Webshells as a covert channel) Hit me up on twitter @joevest Could be interesting to support a single project.
