p0wny@shell:~# is a very basic, single-file, PHP shell. It can be used to quickly execute commands on a server when pentesting a PHP application. Use it with caution: this script represents a security risk for the server.
Features:
- Command history (using arrow keys
↑
↓
) - Auto-completion of command and file names (using
Tab
key) - Navigate on the remote file-system (using
cd
command) - Upload a file to the server (using
upload <destination_file_name>
command) - Download a file from the server (using
download <file_name>
command)
WARNING: THIS SCRIPT IS A SECURITY HOLE. DO NOT UPLOAD IT ON A SERVER UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
Demo with Docker:
docker build -t p0wny .
docker run -it -p 8080:80 -d p0wny
# open with your browser http://127.0.0.1:8080/shell.php
If you have any question, you can:
- Open an issue on GitHub
- Ask on Discord (I am not always available to chat, but I try to answer to everyone)
Please open an issue on GitHub with as much information as possible if you found a bug:
- Your operating system / Linux distribution (and its version)
- The PHP version you are using (example:
PHP-FPM 8.1
,Apache mod_php 7.4
,...) - The Web server you are using and its version (example:
Nginx 1.23
,Apache 2.4.55
,...) - All the logs and message outputted by the software
- etc.
Please consider filing a bug before starting to work on a new feature; it will allow us to discuss the best way to do it. It is obviously unnecessary if you just want to fix a typo or small errors in the code.
