Python-Reverse-Shell

This is a fully working reverse shell get from Youtube tutorial and edited by me to add more functionnality. It comes with a server.py and client.py. The reverse shell is based on the connection from the client to a server. There is a Received folder inside, it's required for the screenshot and downloading function. To install the project, just click here

Functionnality

This is a list of what this reverse shell can do :

• Accept and list multiple client connections
• Choose IP and PORT without editing the .py
• Select a specified client by ID
• A full list of clients connected to the server, with IP address, port used and name of the laptop
• 
• Download any files from the client machine to the server (File Stealing)
• Make a screenshot of the client machine

This is the future features that comes in future version:

• Keylogg the client keyboard and register in a file
• Make a webcam caption to get a video or a photo from the webcam
• And more ...

Installation

To install this project, I'm based on a DigitalOcean Ubuntu server. Before starting, just make a sudo apt-get update

For starting, clone the project on your machine :

$ git clone https://github.com/glama107/python_reverse_shell.git 
$ cd python_reverse_shell/

Then, you have to use Python 3.9 or +, to see and upgrade Python, see here.

You have to install pip3 command:

$ sudo apt install python3-pip		

Then you have to install the dependency:

$ pip3 install tqdm
$ pip3 install pyscreenshot
$ pip3 install pillow

And now you can run the server with python3 server.py, for the client, it's python3 client.py :

Compilation of the client

To compile in one file executable , we use pyinstaller, it's the simple and best way for our project. to get a .exe you have to do it on a Windows client, for Linux it's a binary file. So, let's start:

$ pip3 install pyinstaller
$ sudo apt-get install libpython3.9-dev

Here, 3.9 is my version of Python, you just have to put our version of Python.

Then you just have to build the compiled file :

$ pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole client.py

The --onefile is to get only one file compiled with all packages includes, and the --noconsole is for running the app in background so nobody can see the app running ( it's only appear in the Task Manager ). The build is in dist/ folder

Upgrade python

If you have python 3.x.x and you want to upgrade your version for linux, you have to follow step by step this guide : First, display your current version of python with python3 -V

$ python3 -V 
Python 3.8.5

Then, you have to download the lastest version of Python, for me it's 3.9.0

$ sudo apt-get install python3.9

Change the python update alternative :

$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.8 1
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/python3.8 to provide /usr/bin/python3 (python3) in auto mode

$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.9 2
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/python3.9 to provide /usr/bin/python3 (python3) in auto mode

And finally, change the default updated version of python

    $ sudo update-alternatives --config python3
There are 2 choices for the alternative python3 (providing /usr/bin/python3).

  Selection    Path                Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/bin/python3.9   2         auto mode
  1            /usr/bin/python3.8   1         manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/python3.9   2         manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 0

Now if you make python3 -V you get the lastest downloaded version of Python.

$ python3 -V
Python 3.9.0+
