## What it is
A PowerShell-based ReverseTCP shell framework that provides a command-and-control (C2) server with modules for remote host information gathering, file upload/download, and screenshots. It is a proof-of-concept oriented tool for penetration testing and security research.

## Use cases
- set up a reverse tcp shell c2 server for pentesting
- download files from a compromised windows host
- upload files to a remote host during a red team engagement
- take screenshots of a remote windows machine
- gather system information from a remote host

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight PowerShell reverse shell with file transfer and screenshot modules
- you are doing authorized penetration testing or security training on Windows targets
- you want a simple self-contained C2 without heavy infrastructure

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, stealthy or actively maintained C2 framework
- your targets are not Windows/PowerShell environments
- you require encryption, authentication, or a permissive license (the project has none)

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing
- platform: windows, cli
- tags: reverse-shell, c2, post-exploitation, powershell, red-team, command-line
