A Go-based SSH server and client that enables SSH-based reverse shells, letting operators manage and connect to remote targets with native SSH syntax. It supports port forwarding, SCP/SFTP file transfer, multiple transports (HTTP, WebSockets, TLS), and Windows shell/service integration.

Use cases

• set up ssh-based reverse shells for pentesting
• tunnel traffic through compromised hosts with port forwarding
• transfer files to and from targets using scp and sftp
• manage multiple reverse shell sessions from one server
• bypass egress restrictions using http or websocket transports
• generate static reverse shell binaries for red team operations

When to choose

• you need a reverse shell with full SSH client compatibility and syntax
• you want built-in file transfer, tunneling, and multi-transport support in one static binary
• you are doing authorized penetration testing or red teaming on Windows and Linux targets

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose SSH server for normal remote administration
• your use case is defensive monitoring rather than offensive access
• you require a GUI or managed C2 platform with dashboards
