Pystinger is a Python tool that establishes a SOCKS4a proxy and port mapping through a webshell (PHP, JSP, or ASPX) on a compromised server. It is designed for penetration testing scenarios to let tools like Cobalt Strike, Metasploit, or Viper get reverse sessions online from firewalled intranet hosts.

Use cases

• bypass firewall to get cobalt strike beacon online
• create socks4 proxy through a webshell
• forward ports from an intranet server to my vps
• tunnel metasploit handler traffic through a compromised web server
• pivot into an internal network using only http access
• use regeorg-style tunneling with cobalt strike

When to choose

• you have webshell access on a target behind a firewall and need reverse shell sessions
• you need a socks proxy or port mapping tunneled over HTTP
• you use cobalt strike, metasploit, or viper and need intranet hosts to phone home

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose VPN or full SOCKS5 tunnel without a webshell
• you want stealthy, actively maintained tooling for production red-team engagements
• your target does not support PHP, JSP, or ASPX webshells
