## What it is
ShellPop is a Python CLI tool that generates ready-to-use reverse and bind shell commands for penetration testing, with obfuscation, encoders, and clipboard support. It replaces the need to keep shell payload cheat sheets in text files.

## Use cases
- generate reverse shell one-liners during a pentest
- generate bind shell payloads for a target port
- obfuscate shell payloads with random variable names
- copy generated payloads straight to the clipboard
- find meterpreter and stager payload commands quickly

## When to choose
- you need a quick reverse/bind shell command without memorizing syntax
- you want payload obfuscation or encoding built in
- you work on Kali or another Linux pentest environment with Python 2.7

## When to avoid
- your environment only has Python 3 (the tool requires Python 2.7)
- you need a maintained tool with recent updates (last release 2019)
- you want a full C2 framework rather than a payload generator
