Platypus is a cross-platform reverse-shell and host management hub written in Go. Agents on managed machines dial back to a central server over TLS + protobuf, giving operators interactive shells, file transfer, and network tunneling through a REST/WebSocket API and a Wails desktop client.
Use cases
- manage reverse shell sessions from multiple hosts in one place
- get an interactive shell on remote machines behind NAT
- set up SOCKS5 and port-forward tunnels through compromised or managed hosts
- upload and download files to remote hosts from a central console
- run commands across a fleet of Linux servers at once
- build automation on top of a C2-style REST API with a Python SDK
When to choose
- you need a modern, self-hosted reverse shell manager with a desktop GUI and REST API
- you manage many machines across different networks and want one hub with multiple ingress ports
- you need encrypted (TLS) agent channels and chunked file transfer out of the box
- you want Docker Compose one-click deployment with a web UI
When to avoid
- you need a lightweight single-binary reverse shell without a server/client architecture
- you require a built-in web UI in the server itself (the server is API-only; UI ships separately)
- you need a full-featured commercial C2 with advanced evasion or post-exploitation modules
- your use case is legitimate fleet configuration management rather than interactive shell access
