p0wny@shell is a single-file PHP webshell that provides a browser-based terminal for executing commands on a remote server. It is designed for penetration testers to quickly gain command execution on a PHP application during authorized security assessments.

Use cases

  • run commands on a server during a pentest
  • test for file upload vulnerabilities in PHP apps
  • get a remote shell through a browser
  • upload and download files from a compromised host during an audit
  • bypass disabled PHP execution functions
  • demonstrate webshell risk to clients

When to choose

  • you are a pentester needing a quick, single-file PHP webshell
  • you want command history, tab completion, and file transfer in a minimal webshell
  • you need compatibility with old PHP versions and multiple execution functions

When to avoid

  • you need a legitimate remote admin tool for production servers
  • you require authentication or encryption on your remote shell
  • you cannot legally or ethically deploy a webshell on the target
