Reverse Shell Implementation - Computer Networks Project

Overview

This project implements a TCP-based reverse shell in C, consisting of:

• A server that listens for incoming connections and sends commands
• A client that connects to the server and executes received commands

Features

• TCP socket communication
• Command execution on client machine
• Multi-client support (server-side)
• Basic terminal interface for server management
• Connection status monitoring

File Structure

• client: revshell_client.c
• server: revshell_server_v3.c
• Makefile: Includes build and clean commands

Build Instructions

You can build the project using the provided Makefile:

make

To clean up the compiled binaries:

make clean

Run this on the attacker's machine (the one waiting for incoming reverse shell connections):

./server

Run this on the victim's machine (the one connecting back):

./client
