## What it is
EggShell is a Python-based post-exploitation surveillance and remote administration tool that provides a command-line session with a target machine. It supports payload generation for macOS, Linux, and jailbroken iOS, with features like file transfer, shell execution, persistence, and privilege escalation.

## Use cases
- generate reverse shell payloads for macos and linux
- post-exploitation remote administration of devices i own
- penetration testing lab with ios jailbroken targets
- retrieve passwords and escalate privileges on a test machine
- usb keystroke injection payload with teensy arduino
- take pictures and track location on a target device

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight Python post-exploitation tool for Apple ecosystem devices
- you want quick one-liner or USB-injection payloads for authorized testing
- you are doing security research on jailbroken iOS

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained, actively developed C2 framework
- you require stealth or evasion features for red team operations
- you cannot legally or ethically operate on machines you own
- you need Python 3 support
