p0wny@shell:~# -- Single-file PHP Shell

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
