pwncat is a command and control framework that turns a basic reverse or bind shell into a fully-featured exploitation platform. After initial connection, the framework will probe the remote system to identify useful binaries natively available on the target system. It will then attempt to start a pseudoterminal on the remote host and provide you with raw terminal access. pwncat doesn’t stop there, though. On top of raw terminal access, pwncat can programmatically interact with the remote host alongside your terminal access. pwncat provides you with a local shell interface that can utilize your connection for enumeration, file upload/download, automatic persistence installation and even automated privilege escalation.

Features

  • Disable history in the remote shell
  • Normalize shell prompt
  • Documentation available
