What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A collection of self-contained .htaccess files that turn Apache servers into web shells or launch various attacks when uploaded. It includes shells for multiple Apache modules plus denial-of-service, information disclosure, and directory traversal attacks.

Use cases

  • generate htaccess web shells for pentests
  • test file upload filters against htaccess attacks
  • get command execution on apache via uploaded htaccess
  • enumerate apache modules via htaccess info pages
  • demonstrate htaccess upload risks in security training

When to choose

  • you are pentesting an Apache server that allows .htaccess uploads
  • you need a polyglot webshell payload for a red-team engagement
  • you want to demonstrate htaccess-based attack vectors

When to avoid

  • you need a persistent C2 framework or full-featured webshell suite
  • the target does not run Apache or allow htaccess overrides
  • you want a defensive scanning tool rather than offensive payloads
