A curated collection of common PHP webshells intended for penetration testing assignments and CTF challenges. It is an educational/offensive-security reference collection, not a tool to deploy on production servers.
Use cases
- find php webshells for a ctf challenge
- study common php backdoor patterns
- test webshell detection rules
- learn what one-liner php shells look like
- build a pentest lab with sample webshells
- train security teams to recognize webshells
When to choose
- you need reference samples of PHP webshells for authorized penetration testing or CTFs
- you are building detection or scanning rules and need known-bad examples
- you are teaching or learning about webshell techniques
When to avoid
- you want a defensive tool that removes or detects webshells automatically
- you intend to host the files on a public webserver
- you need a maintained, licensed security toolkit - the repo has no license and infrequent updates
