ConPtyShell is a fully interactive reverse shell for Windows that leverages the Windows Pseudo Console (ConPTY) API to turn a remote PowerShell session into a fully interactive terminal. It is a PowerShell script commonly used in penetration testing to obtain fully interactive shells over TCP.

Use cases

• get a fully interactive reverse shell on windows
• upgrade a non-interactive shell to fully interactive
• spawn a remote powershell over a tcp listener
• penetration testing on windows targets
• interactive terminal with proper terminal size over reverse shell

When to choose

• you need a fully interactive reverse shell on Windows 10/Server 2019 (1809+)
• you want to upgrade an existing shell socket to a fully interactive one
• you are doing authorized penetration testing or red teaming on Windows

When to avoid

• target runs Windows older than 10/Server 2019 build 1809 (falls back to netcat-like shell)
• you need a stealthy or evasive payload rather than a well-known public tool
• your use is not authorized security testing
