Reverse Shells - How Hackers Remote Control PCs
How to remote control PC? Easy! Reverse shells are a key tool used by ethical hackers to control computers remotely. In this cybersecurity tutorial, we are going to demonstrate a windows reverse shell which is a powershell reverse shell that connects back to netcat (a netcat reverse shell). Additionally, we are going to write a python reverse shell ourselves. Reverse shells enable ethical hackers, penetration testers and red teamers to achieve remote control and remote desktop on target systems. We are going to use kali linux as the attacker machine and Windows 10 as the victim. Reverse shells are used for real engagements and penetration tests, as well as capture the flag (CTF) competitions.
*Disclaimer:* This video is for educational purposes only. Reverse shells and the techniques demonstrated should only be used in legal and ethical scenarios, such as authorized penetration tests, research, or Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions. Always obtain proper permission before attempting to access or control any computer system. Unauthorized hacking is illegal!
